Getting Outdoors
The pristine nature of Talladega National Forest is perfect for day hiking. The forest hides incredible locations such as lakes and waterfalls that are accessible via trails. However, the biggest draw for hikers from all around the state is the Pinhoti Trail. The trail is more than 300 miles long, presenting a challenge to all adventure seekers. It is also connected to the well-known Appalachian Trail. The changing terrain offers hiking opportunities to all outdoor enthusiasts. Even though some sections are steep, beginners could still find a portion of the trail that is easy to conquer. If you decide to hike the Pinhoti Trail, you will be rewarded with breathtaking views of Alabama’s wilderness.
Camping at Talladega National Forest
Two campgrounds within Talladega National Forest can accommodate RVs and long vehicles. These are Coleman Lake Recreation Area and Payne Lake Recreation Area. Coleman Lake Recreation Area is tucked deep in the forest, right next to a 21-acre lake. The campground is secluded and spacious, allowing the campers to enjoy the peaceful nature around them, and has 39 sites designed for trailers and RVs that are up to 35 feet long. All sites have water and electricity hookups. Campers also have access to a bathhouse and a picnic area. Hikers often choose this campground because it is close to the Pinhoti Trail.
Exploring the Area
Birmingham is the most populous city in Alabama and an economic center of this part of the state. This place has a very rich history. The city played an important role in the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Talladega National Forest campers could take a day off and explore many important landmarks within the city. Downtown Birmingham is easy to navigate and very pedestrian-friendly. Campers who enjoy fine art could begin their tour at the Birmingham Museum of Art. Housed in a gorgeous modern building, the museum opened its doors in 1951. Today, it has around 26,000 works of art on display. The Asian art section is simply stunning, with hundreds of paintings, sculptures, and many more. Visitors could explore the museum on their own, or go on a guided tour.
