About Chewacla State Park

Chewacla State Park covers about 696 acres on the south side of Auburn, Alabama. Its central feature is a 26-acre lake used for fishing, swimming, and paddling with small non-motorized boats that can be carried in from the bank. Visitors can hike or mountain bike on trails ranging from a short interpretive loop to more demanding routes built by a local cycling club. The park also has a playground, picnic areas, a campground, and six stone cottages built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s that are rented year round.
