Default Cahaba river

Was wondering how much water it has throughout the year and does it run down the middle of birmingham. are the bridges that cross it huge?

No...the bridges aren't very long at all. The Cahaba really cuts a fairly deep channel in the hillsides. Check it out on Google Earth and you'll see.

Here are a couple of photosets of the Cahaba. The first one is near the West Blocton area in Bibb county. This is the site of the famous Cahaba lilies. These photos were taken in september. The lilies bloom in may and june.

These were taken below the fall line from just south of Centreville in Bibb county to the highway 22 bridge near the rivers confluence with the Alabama river in Dallas county. the river changes dramatically when it flows below the fall line.
