Have you visited Flagg Mountain lately? What a wonderful way to experience the gateway to the Pinhoti Trail!
On Wednesday, October 13, AFC Commissioners and other guests were guided on a tour of new construction at Flagg Mountain in Coosa County by the AFC Leadership. State Forester Rick Oates led discussions about the mountain's new additions such as the parking lot, fire tower approach trail, tower staircase, and tower cab for viewing the horizon in a 360-degree view. The progress on the mountain is an exceptional example of how partnerships in conservation make projects such as Flagg Mountain a reality. These new amenities will provide a more enjoyable and immersive experience while visiting Weogufka State Forest. Construction is scheduled to be completed later this fall.
This is super cool; it’s so great to have more accessible trails in Alabama. Are there any plans to fix up the road leading to the parking lot? When I visited in April the road was so full of ruts and holes that many wheelchair accessible vehicles, like vans, which are often really low to the ground, would not be able to travel the road. The trail is great… but it’s not super accessible if folks can’t get to the trailhead! Hoping this might be addressed soonest. 😊
