     If you need a spot to stay Americas Best Value Inn Leeds/Birmingham is a great choice, and Cahaba River has a good whitewater paddling spot nearby. This lake is so wonderful. Spouting Spring Branch flows through this vicinity. All the water falling down from the sky makes Great Pine Lake a wet spot; through the month of March you get the most rain around here, and October is when it's the driest. This lake is so wonderful. If you came for an overnight stay
Holiday Travel Park is a delightful site to camp, and Shephard Gap is in close proximity, and is a glorious spot.
Not enough hours in a day to enjoy this place. Paddling on Yellowleaf Creek - North Fork is so much fun, and if you're going to from Birmingham-Hoover, you won't be the only one. Kerscoha Lake is a nearby lake that you could stop at, and why not stop at Smyer Lake Dam Number Two if you're here. Coosa River Camp Retreat Alabama is a nice local

             campground, and enjoy a round of golf at Eagle Point Golf Club.

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. The take out is nice but its positioned weirdly. You come down river to it after your last rapid and if the water is up or moving along well then you really have to back paddle to mak...

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