Each year the Cahaba River Society hosts a catfish cook-off and festival that’s not only good for the planet,
but also the palate! This event has become another staple in Birmingham’s dynamic food scene
as culinary masters, old and new, battle it out for the top catfish cooking prizes.
A moonlit evening on the Cahaba is a delightful, unique, and relaxing way to enjoy a flat water portion of the Cahaba. We usually hear a variety of wildlife, and often see hundreds of glowworms. These outings begin at dusk at the old Highway 280 bridge. We paddle about two hours in the 280 pool and then return to the same place we put in.

The first day of this overnight tour is much like our daytime canoe tours, but instead of crawling out of the river at the end of the day, we find a sand bar, pitch tents, cook a meal, and spend the night by a campfire. Soaking up an entirely different kind of experience on the river is great fun. You must provide your own camping gear and food.
