Whether it was camping, hiking or biking at an Alabama State Park, a shared connection to the landscape has kept Alabamians resilient over the past few years. Approval of the State Parks Amendmentduring the primary election on May 24th will make possible continued renovations and improvements at Alabama’s State Parks. This new bond measure addresses necessary park renovations that are prioritized to best serve the needs of park guests, including new services and amenities that modernize Alabama’s State Parks while preserving their historic charm. Investing in Alabama’s outdoor recreation infrastructure has the potential to make the state a premier tourism destination. The State Parks Amendment will help build a better future for Alabama State Parks and all Alabamians.

Cheaha K-12 Field Trips and Educational Opportunities Building an appreciation for nature is critical to increasing connections to natural resources, appreciation for public green spaces, inspiring sustainability, and personal well-being. State Parks offer opportunities for a hands-on approach to learning about the natural world, cultural heritage, and environmental arts. By providing outdoor, experiential, and place-based education to guests of all ages, we increase the number of people who understand the value of nature, enjoy time out of doors, connect to Alabama’s heritage, and are therefore more likely to take steps to protect the uniqueness of public lands. For more information regarding a program for your group or family, please contact Renee Raney, Central District Manager and Education Coordinator. For upcoming programs, please visit Cheaha EVENTS.
Cheaha State Park: Mountain Chalets Cheaha has five woodland A-framed chalets that have been refreshed with new furniture, gas fireplaces, and flat-screen smart TVs. Each two-bedroom chalet features a queen-sized bed in each bedroom, one bathroom, a central living room/dining area, a kitchen, a large deck, an outside firepit, and a picnic table. Chalets 11 and 15 are accessible. Four chalets are pet-friendly with an additional pet fee.
Cheaha CCC Cabins: Charming and Enchanting Cheaha’s stone cabins were built in the 1930’s which means they are almost a century old! However, refurbishing, updating, and decades of beautiful memory-making have created delightfully cozy storybook spaces. The cabins are a one of a kind experience. All cabins have gas log fireplace units. From bluff side cabins with their breathtaking views (for two people) to deluxe cabins that offer family accommodations, Cheaha cabins are the original tiny house experience! Six cabins are pet-friendly with an additional pet fee.
