Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Yellowleaf Creek - North Fork; after a long day outdoors Hampton Inn Suites Birmingham/Pelham /I65/ is a delightful spot to spend a night or two. There's whitewater

             on Cahaba River for all you adrenaline people, and golf can be played at Ballantrae Golf Club. All the water falling down from the sky makes Lake Byram a wet site; the month with most of the rain is March while October is the month with the least amount of precipitation.

KOA Birmingham South

Just stopped here on our way north from the Florida panhandle.? Great stopover spot, extemely convenient to I-65.?

...he 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 docking pad in the water. You NEED to go look at the take out before you go on your trip though. Th...
