This guided canoe trip offers a rare opportunity to experience the breathtaking beauty of these iconic flowers in their natural habitat. \nThe Cahaba lily trip is one of our more physically demanding excursions\, requiring participants to drag their boats across Caffee Shoals on the return trip to the boat launch. As you step out to pull your canoe\, keep in mind that the rocks can be extremely slippery\, so caution is essential. This is why closed-toe shoes are required for all participants. \nDespite the challenge\, the reward is well worth the effort. The sight of the Cahaba lilies in full bloom is truly unforgettable. These resilient flowers are uniquely adapted to life in swift-moving water. Unlike their close relative\, the swamp lily\, which grows in marshes where its seeds can float\, the Cahaba lily’s seeds sink and settle among the foliated rocks of the limestone shoals\, ensuring their survival in the dynamic currents of the Cahaba River. \nWe encourage participants to bring cameras to capture the beauty of the lilies\, but please remember that we will be in the water\, so plan accordingly to protect your gear. This is an experience you won’t want to miss. \n  \nWhat to Expect on Your Guided Canoe Trip\nJoin us for a guided canoe trip through the stunning Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge\, where you’ll experience the beauty of Alabama’s longest free-flowing river and its famous Cahaba lilies. \nMeeting & Departure \n\nOur group will meet at 8:15 AM at Amped Fitness (3427 Colonnade Pkwy\, Birmingham\, AL 35243) to caravan to the Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge.\nWe will depart promptly at 8:30 AM. You’re welcome to join the caravan or travel to the refuge on your own.\nIf you’ll be meeting us at the Cahaba Wildlife Refuge\, plan to meet at Canoe Beach by 10:00 AM.\nBe advised that there is limited cell service in the Refuge\, so plan your trip ahead of time.\nPlease notify Wil Rainer at wilr@cahabariversociety.org of your travel plans.\n\nThe Canoe Trip Experience \nThis guided paddle follows a down-and-back route\, made easier by the river’s unique geology. As we navigate the Cahaba: \n\nYou’ll witness the contrast between limestone shoals\, where the Cahaba lilies thrive\, and deep sandstone pools with slower-moving water\, allowing us to paddle back upstream\, returning to our starting point.\nUpon arrival at Hargrove Shoals\, we’ll enjoy a scenic lunch among the lilies (please bring your own brown bag lunch).\n\nImportant Notes \n\nWeather & Water Conditions: Guided trips are subject to weather and river conditions. If there are any changes or cancellations\, we will notify all participants. Due to the brief nature of the lilies’ blooming season\, it is unlikely that a trip will be rescheduled.\n\n  \nWhat to Bring\n\nWater (at least 1 liter)\nLunch\nSunscreen\nSun hat\nClose-toed water shoes. Sandals and flip-flops are not protective enough when walking through the shoals. This site shows some of the shoes our team might be wearing. Old tennis shoes also work well.\nPhotography equipment (waterproof bags are recommended for any technology)\n\nYou are welcome to bring a cooler for your water and lunch\, but alcohol is prohibited. \n  \nRegistration:\nTRIP IS CURRENTLY FULL Email our Field Programs Director\, Wil Rainer to get added to the waitlist URL:https://bhamnow.com/bhamn-event/cahaba-lily-canoe-trip-cahaba-river-national-wildlife-refuge-june-14-2025/ LOCATION:Cahaba National Widlife Refuge\, River Trace\, West Blocton\, AL\, 35184\, United States CATEGORIES:Events,Fun,Guided Canoe Trip GEO:33.0888268;-87.0626986 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Cahaba National Widlife Refuge River Trace West Blocton AL 35184 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=River Trace:geo:-87.0626986,33.0888268 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250614T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250614T100000 DTSTAMP:20260506T193625 CREATED:20250515T155742Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250614T045034Z UID:10081703-1749895200-1749895200@bhamnow.com SUMMARY:City Walkers Walking Club DESCRIPTION:Join us for the City Walkers Walking Club\, an easy and fun way to get fit and experience City Walk BHAM!

This guided canoe trip offers a rare opportunity to experience the breathtaking beauty of these iconic flowers in their natural habitat. \nThe Cahaba lily trip is one of our more physically demanding excursions\, requiring participants to drag their boats across Caffee Shoals on the return trip to the boat launch. As you step out to pull your canoe\, keep in mind that the rocks can be extremely slippery\, so caution is essential. This is why closed-toe shoes are required for all participants. \nDespite the challenge\, the reward is well worth the effort. The sight of the Cahaba lilies in full bloom is truly unforgettable. These resilient flowers are uniquely adapted to life in swift-moving water. Unlike their close relative\, the swamp lily\, which grows in marshes where its seeds can float\, the Cahaba lily’s seeds sink and settle among the foliated rocks of the limestone shoals\, ensuring their survival in the dynamic currents of the Cahaba River. \nWe encourage participants to bring cameras to capture the beauty of the lilies\, but please remember that we will be in the water\, so plan accordingly to protect your gear. This is an experience you won’t want to miss. \n  \nWhat to Expect on Your Guided Canoe Trip\nJoin us for a guided canoe trip through the stunning Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge\, where you’ll experience the beauty of Alabama’s longest free-flowing river and its famous Cahaba lilies. \nMeeting & Departure \n\nOur group will meet at 8:15 AM at Amped Fitness (3427 Colonnade Pkwy\, Birmingham\, AL 35243) to caravan to the Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge.\nWe will depart promptly at 8:30 AM. You’re welcome to join the caravan or travel to the refuge on your own.\nIf you’ll be meeting us at the Cahaba Wildlife Refuge\, plan to meet at Canoe Beach by 10:00 AM.\nBe advised that there is limited cell service in the Refuge\, so plan your trip ahead of time.\nPlease notify Wil Rainer at wilr@cahabariversociety.org of your travel plans.\n\nThe Canoe Trip Experience \nThis guided paddle follows a down-and-back route\, made easier by the river’s unique geology. As we navigate the Cahaba: \n\nYou’ll witness the contrast between limestone shoals\, where the Cahaba lilies thrive\, and deep sandstone pools with slower-moving water\, allowing us to paddle back upstream\, returning to our starting point.\nUpon arrival at Hargrove Shoals\, we’ll enjoy a scenic lunch among the lilies (please bring your own brown bag lunch).\n\nImportant Notes \n\nWeather & Water Conditions: Guided trips are subject to weather and river conditions. If there are any changes or cancellations\, we will notify all participants. Due to the brief nature of the lilies’ blooming season\, it is unlikely that a trip will be rescheduled.\n\n  \nWhat to Bring\n\nWater (at least 1 liter)\nLunch\nSunscreen\nSun hat\nClose-toed water shoes. Sandals and flip-flops are not protective enough when walking through the shoals. This site shows some of the shoes our team might be wearing. Old tennis shoes also work well.\nPhotography equipment (waterproof bags are recommended for any technology)\n\nYou are welcome to bring a cooler for your water and lunch\, but alcohol is prohibited. \n  \nRegistration:\nTRIP IS CURRENTLY FULL!
