There are reports today of flooding at the Barrineau Park bridge over the Perdido River, and there is a flood warning in effect for the river.
Motorists reported of water across the road Wednesday morning on the Florida side of the Barrineau Park bridge over the Perdido River — that’s where Highway 196/Barrineau Park Road crosses from Florida to Duck Place Road in Baldwin County.
The National Weather Service has issued a flood warning for the Perdido River near Barrineau Park as a result of recent heavy rain.
The flood warning is in effect until Wednesday evening. At 9 p.m. Tuesday, the river was at 13.1 feet, with minor flooding occurring. The flood stage is 13.0 feet. The Perdido River at Barrineau Park is forecast to continue rising to 13.6 feet.
At 13 feet, the river begins to leave its banks at the parking lot of Adventures Unlimited and threatens several permanently parked travel trailers.

Dont forget to check w/the Health Department before swimming in the river!!!
Yes it is , the folks who run it are very nice. From Fillingim (first landing) to the pipes is 4.3 miles.I think the pipes landing is closed till 6-12-2012 for repairs. check first. From pipes to AUL, is about 5 miles. .Be careful though, there are some very deep holes on this run. We had two kayaks parked at AUL, cost was 9.00. worth it. and went and put in a the first landing. Great run! Have fun! check levels first.
Has Adventures Unlimited reopened? It was closed a few years ago when we tried to go conoeing . I’ve been down that river for years growing up and would love to do it again.
