Thanks to a wooden way-side sign
along State Route 281 announcing the location of Cheaha State Park we took a
detour on our travels to check out this highpoint. Don't stop until you reach
the observation tower. This excursion--an attempt to kill time--would soon become a
"peak bagging" addiction.

Located in Cheaha State Park
(established in 1933) the derivation of the highpoint's name is unknown.
It is possible that it comes from the Choctaw Indian word chaha
meaning "high". |

Cheaha
Mountain is located approximately 25 miles S of Anniston in the
Cheaha State Park area of Talladega National Forest. The
entrance gate is open 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., while the park is open
year-round. There is a $1.00 per person day use fee. |
