Enjoy hiking, history, fishing, biking and wildlife at the Tuskegee National Forest. Located in East Central Alabama, the land was once eroded farmland. Thanks to many restorative efforts, in 1959 President Eisenhower proclaimed the land a National Forest. Today, visitors enjoy hiking the 8.5-mile Bartram Trail, which includes a variety of wildflowers, trees and wildlife. Horseback riding is also a popular sport at the Tuskegee National Forest with the inclusion of the 14-mile, Destiny/Bedford Cash Memorial Trail. The Park also has primitive and hunter’s campgrounds that are open year round. At the Taska Recreation Area, families can enjoy picnicking as well as a log-cabin replica of Booker T. Washington’s birthplace.
