Welcome to the National Forests in Alabama
Alabama is home to four national forests: Bankhead, Conecuh, Talladega and Tuskegee, spanning more than 668,000 acres across 17 counties. Together, they showcase the state's remarkably diverse geography, from the Southern Appalachian Mountains, Cumberland Plateau and Piedmont, to the Coastal Plain. Each forest offers its own mix of recreation opportunities, from developed recreation areas and popular trails to quiet, secluded natural areas rich in scenery, history and culture.
