The Tombigbee and Alabama join to form the Mobile approximately 50 mi (80 km) NNE of Mobile, along the county line between Mobile and Baldwin counties. The combined stream flows south, in a winding course. Approximately 6 mi (10 km) downstream from the confluence, the channel of the river divides, with the Mobile flowing along the western channel. The Tensaw River, a bayou of the Mobile, flows alongside to the east, separated from 2 to 5 mi (3 to 8 km) as they flow southward. The Mobile reaches Mobile Bay on the Gulf of Mexico just east of downtown Mobile.
