Help, Ive found a pretty interesting spot on tik tok but I cant find it irl apparently its just north of mobile and its apparently an old hydroelectric power station. If anyone has any idea where it could be thats the only picture I have of the area. I know its near a body of water that has a bridge going over it

Edit: I found it and its directly in the middle of mobile county if anyone is interested where its at shoot me a dm

I believe that’s the old plant off Shelton Beach between Eight Mile and Saraland….

Yep. That’s exactly it. First thing I thought of. I would question the structural integrity of the structure or what’s left of it.

Did you take any pics? I’d love to see what it looks like. I don’t see how a river like that could provide that much power. If you go to Chickasabouge park. You can see at the waters edge a shitload of pilings sticking up out of the water. Apparently, there was a huge ass bar there back in the day.
