A great nearby hotel is Days Inn Leeds, and some close by water includes Big Branch. Spring Lake is a wet place that gets a large amount of precipitation; March is the wettest month with most rain, and October meanwhile is the driest month. That right there is heaps already, but it carries on; Spring Lake has it all. If you're dropping by Spring Lake from Birmingham-Hoover, you won't be the only one, and Cedar Lake is a pleasant lake nearby. This lake is so wonderful.

Americas Best Value Inn Leeds/Birmingham is a splendid choice. There's so much to do here at Spring Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Holiday Travel Park is a nice place for that. Cahaba River has a glorious whitewater
paddling spot close by. Lowry Gap is a fine spot to explore, and lakes are such calm places, why not pop by Crystal Lake.

 | ...oss 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. 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 make the docking pad. Also if you miss the pad the current picks up dead even with the pad and will take you on down river before you realize it. Just check the weather and the USGS sites for the water level and better yet go look at it at the put in and the take out to get a better idea if you can. The Cahaba is a great river to paddle it just isnt... |
