Cahaba Lily Trip
Float the Cahaba River thru the Cahaba National Wildlife Refuge for a chance to see the famous Cahaba Lily. This glorious flower can’t be found in very many places these days….it needs shallow, fast moving water and we’ve dammed up most of its former habitat. But this trip will take you thru the largest remaining stand of the Cahaba Lily in the world. Contact trip leader Lisa Buck for rendezvous details.
