Located along Lookout Mountain, the sandstone boulders of Cherokee Rock Village are a premier rock climbing location in the country. The site has everything from gentle rising broad boulders that may be enjoyed by a novice to vertical rocks for the experienced sport climber.

There are over 200 top rope routes, trad climbing and bouldering. For detailed information about climbing CRV, pick up a copy of The Dixie Cragger’s Atlas from the camp store.

Bird Watching

Whether observing from the open boulder fields, hiking trails, or mature forests,  birding enthusiasts will not be disappointed.  From atop the sandstone boulders is the perfect location to view birds of prey as they soar high above Weiss Lake.  At the base of the boulders Eastern Phoebes nest in the rock clefts. In the mixed-wood forested area, you may be fortunate to spot a

Great Crested Flycatcher or a Pileated Woodpecker. For more information about species found at Cherokee Rock Village, visit Cherokee Rock Village – Alabama Birding Trails.
