Flagg Mountain Cabins and Campsite Rentals
The Alabama Trails Foundation is partnering with the Alabama Forestry Commission to bring online registration for the cabin shelters and campsites to Flagg Mountain. All proceeds from rentals go to the Alabama Forestry Commission. As we gather details from the process, expect improvements.
Flagg Mountain marks the beginning of the 170-mile-long Alabama Pinhoti Trail, and provides visitors a glimpse of a unique Alabama ecosystem – montane longleaf pine.
An ADA accessible half-mile path invites all to experience these tough-as-nails mountains while enjoying scenic views of the Coosa and Tallapoosa River valleys as well as the Talladega Mountain range. Over 7 miles of interconnected trails offer hikes for everyone, from seasoned hikers to those looking for an easy stroll.
A native stone and timber tower exhibiting precision craftsmanship gifted by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in 1935 sits atop the summit. The tower area is open to the public for picnics. Climb the newly renovated stairs to the tower cab for spectacular 360° views of the surrounding mountains.
Cabin Shelters and Camping: Stay for the weekend! Two cabins with electricity and fireplaces that were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps are available for overnight rentals, along with multiple tent and car camping opportunities. Text 334-561-5467 with questions.

Things to Do: Sightseeing, hiking seven miles of trails, camping, picnicking, bird watching, basking in nature or just enjoying the view from the top of the tower.
