The Talladega OHV Trail in Goodwater, Alabama, is a well-known off-highway vehicle trail. Spanning a length of 28.72 miles, this trail is rated as moderate in difficulty, making it suitable for hikers of varying skill levels. The trail is characterized by a mix of hard-packed dirt and loose gravel, with some sections featuring rocky terrain. The trail winds through a dense forest of hardwoods and pines, offering ample shade for hikers. Along the route, hikers will encounter several small streams and a large lake, providing opportunities for fishing and bird watching. The trail also features a number of rock formations, adding an element of challenge to the hike. Hikers are advised to wear sturdy footwear due to the uneven terrain and to carry plenty of water, especially during the summer months. The trail is open year-round, but the best time to hike is in the spring or fall when the weather is mild. The trail is well-marked, but a map is recommended for first-time visitors.

Chinnabee Silent Trail to Cheaha Falls

The valley at the base of Mount Cheaha is home to several picturesque waterfalls flowing out of Cheaha Lake. Many of these small waterfalls are accessible on the Chinnabee Silent Trail, including Cheaha Falls. Following SR 281 further down the mountain from the park offices, you’ll come to the Chinnabee Silent Trail parking lot. The hike to Cheaha Falls is very short and easy, only a two-mile...

This 17.7 mile loop trail is actually the combination of three separate trails, the Chinabee Silent Trail, the Skyway Loop Trail, and a piece of the Pinhoti Trail. There are several places on the trail that are near vertical and are demanding, especially on the Pinhoti. Primitive campsites are located throughout, usually in great locations. Parking is available in the Turnipseed Parking area, n...

Flagg Mountain lookout tower and the cabins are inside the Weogufka State Forest. The state forest also has around 4 miles of hiking trails plus the entire Coosa WMA trails. The cabins and tower were built by the CCC to be part of a state park that was never finished, but the Alabama Forestry Commission (AFC) took over the tower and used it as a fire tower for the next 50 years. The Alabama Hik...

Salt Creek Falls

The point on the map takes you to a small pull off on the side of the road. Park here and walk over the small dirt mound blocking vehicles from going down the trail. It is less than half a mile to the top of the falls. This is the easy part of the hike though. There is a small trail that leads down the side of the cliff to the bottom of the falls. It is not easy to climb down, and even harder t...
