Chewacla State Park

Chewacla State Park consists of 696 scenic areas just off I-85 near Auburn, Alabama. It is a beautiful pocket of nature that provides camping, walking trails, and programs throughout the year. This entrance sign is at 124 Shell Toomer Parkway, across the street from the Hampton Inn, where we were staying.  We were impressed with the park rangers who were very friendly and helpful, even though  I had a lot of questions. It was a hot day when we were there, and this camp provided a cool, beautiful place to rest.

Bucks Pocket State Park

Buck's Pocket State Park is part of three counties, DeKalb, Jackson, and Marshall , in Northeast Alabama. Located in the Appalachian foothills, it has fantastic rock formations.  It is a very small park, with no restaurants or other amenities, but it is a place where you can fill your eyes and hearts with Alabama's natural beauty.  Not today.  Thanks, anyway. Buck's Pocket has an interesting history  for such a small, isolated place.
