A little disappointed there doesn't seem to be much in the way of trails, but the lake is pretty and the sites are spacious and have flat ground for a tent.

During my recent road trip to Alabama, I had the pleasure of stopping at a truly impressive state park. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by how nice and well-maintained this forest was.

First and foremost, the cleanliness of the facility deserves special mention. The entire rest area, including the restrooms, was meticulously clean, giving me confidence in the hygiene and comfort it provided. The restrooms were particularly impressive in their size and cleanliness, ensuring a pleasant experience for all visitors.

One aspect that stood out to me was the abundance of parking spaces specifically meant for trucks. This accommodation shows a thoughtful consideration for the needs of truck drivers, making it an excellent choice for those traveling with larger vehicles. I found it refreshing to have ample space to park my car near the trucks parking in ease.

Furthermore, the facilities at this forest were top-notch. The updated and well-maintained amenities included an abundance of vending machines, which provided a variety of snacks and beverages for a quick refreshment during the journey. Additionally, the forest had plenty of informational material available, highlighting local and state attractions, allowing travelers to explore the beauty of the place.

Overall, this Forest offers an exceptional experience for travelers. With its cleanliness, spacious parking for semi trucks, well-equipped facilities, and an array of vending machines, it exceeds expectations. The attention to detail and commitment to maintaining a welcoming environment make it an ideal stop for both short breaks and longer stops along the journey.
A very pleasant forest.

This is where I grew up. This is part of my family. It's a part of my history and my heritage and I'm glad the government turned our family land and other peoples we did not own that whole national Park into a national park. People who hear me talk tell me I talk like a hillbilly and I laugh and tell them, you don't know how much of a hillbilly I truly am. My family helped build Shoal Creek Baptist Church. I feel like I'm coming home every time I go up there. If you ever have a chance to go back into them woods you can truly understand how wild the land once was. It is like stepping back in time. I wish more people would take the time to do it.

Amazing and huge place. If it your first time to visit I advice you to put Cheaha State Park in your GPS. The road is very curvy and you should drive very slow. Once you arrived to the park you will face a gate asking 5$ per person/ registration office and small shop. Soon you get in you will find the tower which is the highest point in Alabama. Also you will find a restaurant serving pizza/burger/ beer, Motel, campground, multiple trail with amazing view and one with a bridge very accessible by wheelchair and stroller. You can find clean bathrooms too

We visit the National Forest mainly for riding our dirt bikes. It's always just serene and beautiful. The views from the higher elevations are magnificent.

Loved our visit here. We had a great time climbing this mountain in car and on foot. Just what we were looking for. Great view, waterfalls, natural rock stairs, and a nice workout. Beautiful!!!

This is a great place. Cheaha included it's a great day or couple of days spent exploring there are a couple of Waterfalls here that we went to see. If you're a waterfall Hunter Salt Creek Falls is definitely one to see it is amazing. If you're looking for hiking there is plenty but some of the trails aren't marked well at all so you need to watch out.aside from that it's fun to go explore
