Alabama's rain-dependent whitewater surprise — when the Mulberry Fork is running, it delivers genuine Class II–III rapids through a scenic Appalachian foothill gorge in Blount and Cullman counties. Sandstone bluffs, hardwood forests, and a remote corridor make this a favorite among Birmingham-area whitewater paddlers. The upper 25 miles above Garden City hold the Class II–III technical water, gentling to Class I–II on the run to the Locust Fork confluence.
