Cheaha State Park, National park in Talladega County, United States
Cheaha State Park spans 2,799 acres of mountain terrain, forests, and streams within Alabama's Talladega National Forest at 2,407 feet above sea level.
The park opened in 1933, and between 1933 and 1939, the Civilian Conservation Corps constructed stone cabins, pavilions, and the Bunker Tower observation point.
The name derives from the Muskogee Creek language meaning 'high place', reflecting its status as the highest elevation point in Alabama.
The park features 73 modern campsites, a 30-room hotel, chalets, cabins, and multiple trails, including the Cheaha Trailhead connecting to the Appalachian Trail.
A P-38 Lightning warplane crashed into Bald Rock in 1944, and its recovered machine gun became part of the park museum collection in 2023.
