This is highly doubtful unless one finds a way to add far to many qualifiers.
They rank it by miles of navigable water under what the army corp of engineers considers inland waterways. I was shocked too when I found out. Google it, its true. Unless another state created more via dams/dredging and passed them within the last year.
Alabama has a ton of water for its size. You can't drive anywhere without hitting a lake or decent sized river. There are 14 lakes that have over 400 miles of shoreline EACH, and several of those are over 500 miles. Guntersville, Wedowee, Neely-Henry, Weiss, William 'Bill' Dannelly, Smith, Martin, Wheeler, Eufaula, Bankhead, Demopolis, Lay, R.E. Bob Woodruff Reservoir, and Pickwick. There are a dozen more lakes with 100-400 miles of shoreline. Plus over 77,000 miles of rivers and streams.
To put that into perspective, my in-laws live in south central PA, and have to drive 2.5 hours 1 way to get to their lake house at the only lake large enough to boat on anywhere near them. Their lake is only 26 miles long with just over 70 miles of shoreline.
