Our setting on the Tennessee River makes Decatur a focal point for outdoor recreation in North Alabama. When the water calls, enthusiasts head for the River with boats, jet skis, canoes and fishing poles.
Residents and visitors also enjoy the peaceful, natural beauty on the walking and biking trail that meanders along the banks of the river at Point Mallard. Birders and hikers alike are amazed by the abundance of wildlife on Wheeler Wildlife Refuge.
