Lake Wedowee Life Magazine Cover

From several points in Randolph County, Mt. Cheaha looms in the distance. It may not seem like much from here but as you make your way closer its size may become a little overwhelming. Cheaha State Park is atop the mountain which is the highest point in Alabama at 2,407 feet. Located in the Talladega National Forest, Cheaha is the Indian word for "high" and is a foothill of the Appalachian Mountain system. Cheaha State Park has been in operation since 1933, however, the official opening date was June 7, 1939.
