Interpretive Center at Lake Cheaha

 

Something new from something old! Cheaha State Park upcycled the historic CCC Lake House into an Interpretive Center. The 88-year-old doors reopened with a new purpose on Saturday, March 13, 2021. This unique facility houses a nature center, environmental literacy corner, exhibits, and a classroom. The Cheaha State Park interpretive team will be delighted to help you connect with nature through environmental education, cultural heritage, science, and arts. Learn about plants, animals, geology, and the history of Cheaha. Play your way through the interpretive exhibits and activities. Field trip opportunities for classes and groups.
