Cheaha Mountain

Cheaha Mountain - Highest Point in Alabama [2,413 FT]

This park, which is Alabama's oldest continuously operating state park, encompasses Cheaha Mountain, the highest point in the state.

The highest point is marked with a USGS benchmark in front of Bunker Tower, a stone Civilian Conservation Corps building with an observation deck on top. The old road is known as CC Road and contains interesting ruins. Near the peak is Bald Rock, which was recently improved with a wheelchair-accessible wooden walkway that provides an impressive overlook of the surrounding region.

Cheaha Mountain is part of the Talladega Mountains, a final southern segment of the Blue Ridge.
