     Dry warm beds await you at Hampton Inn Suites Birmingham/Pelham /I65/, and do go to Lake Byram, it's a striking lake. Cahaba River has a good whitewater paddling spot close by, and if you need a spot to stay Holiday Inn Express Birmingham I-65 South (Pelham) is a delightful choice. Whohoo, so many amusing things in one place! Boyden Lake rules! While you're here at Boyden Lake, you could also go to gorgeous Bowden Lake, and if you crave a little side spree,
try Thomas Gap. All the water falling down from the sky makes Boyden Lake a wet place; March is when you get the most rain here; the driest of the months is October.
This lake is so wonderful. In the event that you don’t have a problem getting soaked, you can always go whitewater paddling on Yellowleaf Creek - North Fork, and Boyden Lake Dam is a stunning site, absolutely worth taking a look at. Near Boyden Lake you find a golf course called Ballantrae

             Golf Club, and camping is available at Pelham Koa Kampground. This lake is so wonderful. You'll meet a lot of folks from Birmingham-Hoover here.

KOA Birmingham South

Just stopped here on our way north from the Florida panhandle.? Great stopover spot, extemely convenient to I-65.? Clean, neat campground, great bathrooms and showers, friendly, well-informed staff, and the area has all the basics travelers like us are interested in---food, shopping, RV stores, food, food, etc.?

...aba and had a blast. Although it does have a class II rating I only encountered four areas where the river produced what I would call true rapids. Most of these areas were short two to three foot falls followed by a run produced by the current. And one was just a long series of wide wave trains. I did enjoy the rapids but even a novice paddler with a few trips under their belt could handle this section. The only bad part was the long flats inbetween the rapids. I was lucky in that I timed my trip two days after a heavy rain so the current was nice and steady. If not for that I would have been exhausted from paddling across the flats. Luckily the scenery is good and there is plenty of wildlife to enjoy. The put in at Lovic bridge is tricky. Its a pretty steep grade and full of mud and sand. I ended up just getting in my canoe and slidding down the hill into the water. Thats a good way to flip so take a friend and you could rope your boat down much easier. The take out at Grants Mill is alot nicer. It has a nice gravel parking lot and a concrete ramp down to the river with a concrete d...
