Cahaba River Society
Canoe Trips
The Cahaba River Society was formed in 1988 with the objective of restoring and
protecting the Cahaba River watershed and the divers ecosystem contain within.
Additional objectives include managing growth along the river, and education of
the general public.
As part of their efforts to educate interested parties about the
Cahaba River, the Society offers canoe trips throughout the year.

Policies for Canoe Outings
 |
You
must call 322-5326 between 8:30a and 12:00p for reservations and details
about each trip. |
|
If you make a reservation and
then discover you cannot attend, please let us know, asap,so we may
offer the canoe to someone on our waiting list.
|
|
Participants are required to
follow the trip leader’s guidance regarding safety and behavior.
|
|
Please be on time for
departure.
|
|
We request a $25 fee for each
canoe reservation due on the day of the outing. |
|
You should bring your own
lunch and refreshments. Remember that being outside in hot weather will
require much more water than usual to keep you hydrated.
|
|
HATS and SUNSCREEN will save
you great discomfort! |
|
Paddlers with their own canoes
or kayaks are very welcome to join us. Please let us know if you plan to
accompany us so we can assess the size of the group. |
|
Novice paddlers are encouraged
to attend a training session directed by instructors with the Birmingham
Canoe Club. Contact Jerry Hogan for more information or to register for the
class. Space is limited. Contact Jerry at
training@birminghamcanoeclub.org. For additional details, see “CLASSES”
