Cheaha Mountain, Mountain summit in Cleburne County, Alabama.

Cheaha Mountain is the highest natural point in Alabama, a forested summit of the Talladega Mountains rising to 2,413 feet (735 m) in Cheaha State Park. The top is marked by a USGS benchmark in front of Bunker Tower, a stone Civilian Conservation Corps building with an observation deck. Near the peak, Bald Rock has a wheelchair-accessible wooden walkway overlooking the surrounding region.

A stone tower was built at the summit during the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, marking the creation of Alabama's first state park. This construction effort reflected the push to make the landscape accessible to visitors.

The name Cheaha is thought to derive from the Choctaw word chaha, meaning "high". The mountain lies a few miles northwest of the town of Delta, within Cheaha State Park, which opened to the public on June 7, 1939 and offers a lodge and a restaurant.

Multiple routes lead to the summit with varying difficulty levels from easy walks to more strenuous hikes. Good footwear and plenty of water are recommended, particularly on warm days.

The summit's exact highest point is marked by a USGS benchmark set in the ground in front of Bunker Tower, the stone Civilian Conservation Corps building with an observation deck. The CCC also built the old access road, now called CC Road, whose ruins still lie along the route.
