is a great campground nearby, and after a long day outdoors Wingate by Wyndham Birmingham is a brilliant site to spend a night or two. This lake is so wonderful. You're sure to stumble upon some great people from Birmingham-Hoover here.
Cooper Branch is a wonderful stream that is worth visiting, and there are other spots here than Demopolis Lake, for example Belcher Lake. This lake is so wonderful. There's whitewater on Cahaba River for all you thrill seekers,

             and a brilliant location to explore is Big Narrows. Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Yellowleaf Creek - North Fork, and in close proximity to Demopolis Lake you hit upon a golf course called Eagle Point Golf Club.
Demopolis Lake ordinarily gets a large amount of rain; throughout the month of March you get the most rain around here, and October on the other hand is the driest. Not sufficient hours in a day to enjoy this site. City of Hoover RV Park is a pleasant local campground, and a wonderful nearby hotel is Candlewood Suites BIRMINGHAM.

Cahaba River

...ere 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 docking pad in the water. You NEED to go look at the take out before you go on your trip thoug...

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.? I know this would also be a nice spot for a longer stay....
