Ducker Bay is a coastal saltwater bay located within the Mobile-Tensaw Delta at its junction with Mobile Bay in Baldwin County, Alabama. The primary and most detailed access for paddlers is from Meaher State Park, which borders the bay. The park offers a dedicated ADA-approved canoe and kayak launch that enters directly into Ducker Bay. There is a parking lot available, and a day-use fee applies for entering the park, with an additional fee for launching a canoe or kayak from the park shores. The park is open from 7 a.m. until sundown. From this launch, paddlers can paddle east and then south to meander under a boardwalk out into Bay John, or continue east out into the Blakely River. Alternatively, paddlers can choose to paddle north or south from the launch. The park also offers kayak and canoe rentals on-site daily. The bay is surrounded by a marsh environment, offering a view of the delta's unique flora and fauna. The area is characterized by its location at the convergence of the Mobile-Tensaw Delta and Mobile Bay, providing a transition from river delta to open bay. The park features amenities such as picnic pavilions, a boardwalk, and overnight accommodations including bay-side cabins overlooking Ducker Bay.
