We are local to Cheaha and go often, year round. The kids love the lake and the pool, and there is an easy walk on a boardwalk with amazing views at the end on days when the kids don't feel like hiking. Right by the lake is a trailhead that leads up to more amazing views. It a fun hike climbing over huge boulders for much of the way. The kids enjoy this too. The store is very well stocked if we forget anything and right across from the store they have a gem mining area that is also great fun for the children. We rented a chalet for our honeymoon and it was gorgeous. We definelty recommend Cheaha!

There is an old crashed airplane up there, off a trail. Google before you go and see if you can find directions!

We love Chinnabee! The short hike to the gorgeous falls is perfect for the kids. While you can continue on for miles if you wish, we prefer to stay at the water and climb the little falls. We have been there at every season of the year and it is always beautiful.
