Cahaba & Oakmulgee

Cahaba & Oakmulgee

Situated alongside the longest free-flowing river in Alabama – and one of the country's most biologically diverse – the Cahaba River area is full of beautiful scenery and historic places. The cities along the river's path are the kinds of places many would consider to be dream hometowns. You'll find endless outdoor recreation, some of the tastiest peaches in the world and the best of small-town life within a 45-minute drive of Birmingham.
