Located in Clay and Cleburne Counties, Cheaha State Park is the pinnacle of natural beauty and awe in Alabama. Surrounded by the Talladega National Forest, this foothill of the Appalachian Mountains holds the reputation of the highest point in Alabama. Standing 2,407 ft. above sea level, it is no wonder why the local Creek Indians named this place “Chaha,” meaning high place. We will hike the Boardwalk trail which is a short 0.5 mile hike ending at a good view. We will then also hike the Pulpit Rock Trail which again has excellent views. Finally we will hike the Garden Rock Trail from the top of Cheaha Mtn to Cheaha Lake. This last hike is steep downhill and you may want to use hiking poles. We will shuttle a car so we don’t have to hike back up this steep trail.
