Talladega Scenic Drive
Bicycle/Pedestrian Facilities

The Pinhoti National Recreation Trail is a 100-mile hiking trail that can be accessed at several locations where it intersects the Drive. This trail can also be accessed at Cheaha State Park. It winds through rugged pine hardwood forests, along rock bluffs, into hollows, and bedside crystal-clear streams. Also, there is a two-mile hike at Oxford-Cheaha Road and at Cheaha Wilderness.

In addition, each of the overlook areas has a sidewalk for pedestrian use. These facilities give visitors opportunities to stop, stretch, and enjoy the surrounding landscapes. Interpretive facilities are planned for four of these overlooks if funds become available. In addition, short hiking loops of 1/2 to 1-1/2 miles are possible at various locations along the Drive.

There are no bicycle lanes provided on the byway. However, the byway is used by some bicyclists who are looking for a riding challenge due to steep grades. Weekday riding gives cyclists safer opportunities due to a significant reduction in traffic volume. Cheaha State Park recently opened a mountain bike trail that provides opportunities just off the route.
