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.
