Cahaba Blueway Moon River Canoe Launch

"Trail maintenance need TLC but parking is adequate and water level was low yesterday. Next trip, I will take a bow saw to help cut some of the down trees to help better kayaking. We did pick up trash as we floated. We didn't see any other people just those that lived along the river. It was peaceful and seeing nature without the crowd. Defiantly bring snack or light lunch and plenty of fluids."

"The trail from the parking lot to the river is narrow but not steep. I recommend carrying your boat with a partner. A nice shale ledge offers easy boat launches. It takes a bit before the noise of the interstate sinks into the background. Races at Barber Motorsports echo through the otherwise serene Cahaba valley. The stretch to Grants Mill road has several shoals that require you to walk your boat Check the swim guide at the Cahaba Riverkeeper to check the pollution level and check the Cahaba Blueway website for tips and links e.g. to water levels. All that said: A day on the water is alway"

"It is used to be a good spot to take the kids for a swim. Last trip, there was a dude rolling joints and drinking beer while standing in the water where the kids can get in and out. Time before, it was crowded with a bunch of drunk people."
