Alabama whitewater - Mulberry Fork, Cullman/Blount County
Cullman/Blount
county,
Blountville Road to US Route 31 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS I-II 11.3 miles
I've been down the mullberry several times now in my canoe. I live nearby so it is fairly convenient for me to go. It is one of my favorite rivers to canoe on, as long as the water level is high enough. I love the peae and tranquility of being on the river, but at the same time it iclose enough to civilization that it remains conveient and reasonably safe, even for inexperienced or young ones. I highly recommend it for anyone loking for a relaxing overnite trip. Says HEATH
Just went today 7/5/09. It rained like crazy this morning and the rapids
were great. Easy enough for sit-on-top kayaks but still intense. Great place to go!!! Says Caleb Kelly
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
The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Alabama are often more challenging than in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. The nature scenery of Alabama and the playfulness of the water beats anything. If you're coming from Cullman it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are great attractions for lots of people. This stretch of Mulberry
Fork is 11.3 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-II section. The Blountville Road to US Route 31 section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking,
either way this area has a large number of paddling spots. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. You
can enjoy this section more if you take your time, so why not pack your camping stuff too.
