Cheaha State Park, State park in Clay and Cleburne counties, Alabama, United States

Cheaha State Park covers 2,799 acres in Clay and Cleburne counties, adjoining Talladega National Forest, and contains Cheaha Mountain, the highest point in Alabama. Bunker Tower, a stone building with an observation deck, stands on the summit, and a wheelchair-accessible wooden walkway on the Bald Rock Trail gives a second overlook. Cheaha Lake, stone cabins, pavilions and a bathhouse built by the Civilian Conservation Corps remain in use.

The park opened in 1933, and the Civilian Conservation Corps built stone structures, pavilions, and the observation tower between 1933 and 1939. This work shaped the park's present character and represents New Deal conservation efforts.

The name "Cheaha" derives from the Muskogee Creek word meaning "high place", fitting for the summit of Cheaha Mountain, Alabama's highest point at 2,407 feet. The park's cultural life centres on the Bald Rock Group Lodge, a stone building from the 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps era that is now rented for conferences and weddings. The park museum holds a machine gun recovered from the 1944 P-38 Lightning crash site on Bald Rock, donated in 2023.

The grounds offer 73 modern campsites, a 30-room lodge, chalets, cabins, and several hiking trails, including a connection to the Appalachian Trail. Visitors should prepare for changing weather and wear proper footwear for exploring trails.

On January 4, 1944, a P-38 Lightning flying from Dallas to Atlanta crashed into Bald Rock; its pilot was 2nd Lieutenant Chester R. Gunkel of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A machine gun recovered from the wreck was donated to the park museum in 2023.
