| | lake is so wonderful. Lake Purdy is nice enough to spend more than a day at, Holiday Travel Park is a nice local campground, and Candlewood Suites Birmingham, Al is a pleasant site to get some rest. Lake Purdy in fact is in the middle of a delightful outdoors paradise. If you like swamps, you're in luck, Ike Pond Slough is right nearby, and enjoy a round of golf at Eagle Point Golf Club. It's a wonderful idea to explore Big Branch, it's right next door to Lake | |

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.
