This is a short documentary of my recent visit to the Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge, located just about 45 minutes southwest of Birmingham, Alabama. This short film highlights some of the river itself, Caffee Creek, as well as a very small sampling of the flora and fauna of the refuge.
Directions from the Federal Wildlife Service Cahaba River Website: "Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge is located in Bibb County, Alabama, approximately six miles east of West Blocton on County Road 24. From I-20/59 take Exit 97. Take Hwy 11 south 3 miles to Hwy 5 at the traffic light. Turn left onto Hwy 5 south and follow Hwy 5 approximately 9 miles to County Road 24. Turn left onto CR 24 and take CR 24 approximately 6 miles. River access is provided by a gravel road on the south (right) side of Bibb County Road 24 approximately 250 yards past the refuge entrance sign."
Also from the FWS Cahaba River website: "The refuge contains significant aquatic resources including 3 miles of the Cahaba River as well as the Little Cahaba River, Caffee Creek, Pratt Creek, and Little Ugly Creek. Within the Refuge, the Cahaba River ranges from 125 to 250 feet wide with water depth from a few inches in the shoals to nearly 10 feet in pools. Several small islands are scattered along the course, but the dominant channel features are the flat bedrock shoals.
Boulder-strewn Caffee Creek is the largest tributary stream flowing through the refuge from the west and averages 25 feet wide and less than a foot in depth. The southeastern edge of the refuge also contains a short stretch of shoreline along the Little Cahaba River. The Little Cahaba River is 50 to 75 feet wide and a few feet deep along the refuge boundary."
My conclusion is that this park is definitely well worth the trip to visit.
