4.0 Talladega National Forest (25 reviews)
- An unexpected surprise - fun hikes and fantastic views
Saturday: Forests

We detoured through this area to stretch our legs during a cross-country road trip and I'm very glad we did. We haven't spent much time in Alabama and didn't have high expectations for great hiking and scenic views, but thankfully we were wrong. We initially made a brief stop at Cheaha State Park, then spent time exploring several back roads and trails south of Cheaha. The entire scenic drive was incredibly beautiful, even in early December. I would also recommend the High Falls trail, which was a short, easy trail in a quiet and secluded forest with several beautiful waterfalls. This great area was initially an afterthought on our trip, but now I'm genuinely looking forward to returning next time we're in this part of the country. See more..
4.0 Tuskegee National Forest (1 review)
- Free camping, hiking opportunities, and more
National Parks • Forests

We camped in the National Forest for five days to visit nearby Tuskegee, and hiked the Bartram Trail twice. Camping is free with a permit from the ranger station, and is restricted to 14 designated camp sites. The forest is pretty small, so many areas are close to roads and experience road noise, but the benefit is great cell reception throughout the forest. It's still a wild place, however, and we heard coyotes howling at night! We found the Bartram Trail to be a little too similar throughout; the landscape didn't change much over the trail. However, it's a relatively easy and enjoyable hike. Note that there is a shooting range within the forest, and some might find the gunfire distracting. It was far enough away from our campsite that we were not bothered. See more..
