We took 2 canoes and a kayak down the Lux on May 15... lots of fun .. We put in on hwy 12 just north of the Nissan dealership The cfs that day was at 1070 which was pretty good and we did not have to paddle, just steer.. There are several sets of rapids between Tuscaloosa road and 182 which were really rolling with the cfs at 1070.. We have been on it when it was around 600 cfs and that was really good as well and probably a little more family friendly
