Pinhoti National Recreation Trail - Shoal Creek RD
Pinhoti National Recreation Trail offers more than 145 miles of moderate to difficult hiking opportunities. The Pinhoti winds through the Talladega National Forest in eastern Alabama. It runs from Piedmont, to a point south of Talladega. The Pinhoti traverses through both the Cheaha Wilderness and Dugger Mountain Wilderness Areas. There is a connector trail from Cheaha State Park to the Pinhoti. The Pinhoti meanders through mountains and valleys, which are rich in history and legend. The trail winds through rugged pine and hardwood forests, runs along ridgetops, and passes through shady hollows and mountain streams.
