Cherokee Rock Village

Such a beautiful little, laid back, out of the way spot. Wish we had more time to linger, but we'll be back. No hook-ups and no reservations, but the views are incredible. The rock formations are beautiful to scramble over under around and through. There are restrooms and showers and a dump station. The staff couldn't be any more friendly. The park is unique in that it is basically self-run. All fees go directly toward maintaining the park. It is not "county" run, but it is owned outright by the county board of commissioners so funding doesn't come from the county itself but private donations and grants. They are currently trying to get a grant to add electric sites. Trust me it is a gem of a place. Well worth a stop if you are passing through. And if you are a rock climber, you will discover a little piece of heaven here in this little corner of northeastern Alabama.
