Who owns the river banks on the Mulberry Fork. Do you go by the high water mark on the banks or does the land owner have the rights to middle of the river? Says Bryan

If you're coming from Cullman it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. The Blountville Road to US Route 31 stretch of Mulberry Fork in Alabama is 11.3 miles long and it is classified as a class I-II section by American Whitewater. The average Alabama whitewater rafting or kayaking
    river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. You can enjoy this section more if you take your time, so why not pack your camping stuff too.
Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. This river system has a few good paddling stretches and the Blountville Road to US Route 31 section is one of them. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling spots.
