ORIGIN - Cahaba River - River Origins, Destinations and Confluences on Waymarking.com

On Cahaba Mountain to the northwest of this plaque, springs form a fragile stream that grows as it carves through the steep, rocky terrain of Birmingham, AL suburbs, flowing south on the Gulf Coastal Plain to the Alabama River at the site of Alabama's first capital, Cahawba. The Cahaba has sustained human life for at least 10,000 years and remains a major drinking water source. It is known nationally for biological diversity and beauty and, at 191 miles, is Alabama's longest free-flowing river. It nurtures 69 rare, imperiled aquatic species and the largest stand of shoals lilies on Earth.
