House sized boulders. Rock climbers. Hidden tunnels. Lots of trees. Swarms of lady bugs. Views for miles. This is what we found at Cherokee Rock Village in Leesburg, AL and it was all so BEAUTIFUL!
Right away, you see giant boulders from the parking lot. We spent plenty of time climbing up and down the rocks. At the top of the rocks, you are treated to fantastic views of lakes, forest, and the town below. Sometimes it took a few tries to make it to the top, but it’s always worth it. On some of the rocks, there were swarms of lady bugs that kept crawling on us. WARNING- Ladybugs bite.
Down in the rocks, we discovered lots of cool features like holes, crevices, tunnels, and caves. This means it was also a great place to play hide and seek, but no good for tag because you could trip on tree roots and little rocks in the ground.
The giant rocks here are great for climbing, but can hurt your hands. They were studded with little white oval pebbles, like concrete with pebbles in it. It made climbing the rocks easier because your shoes could grip better onto the the little pebbles. 
Grippy shoes and studded rocks make for gravity defying climbing fun.My favorite boulder is in the Bluff Area of the park. It is so perfect because it has a bowl-shaped hole that is just the right size for me. Even better, it has both back and leg rests! It’s like a recliner, but made out of rock. Mom tried to sit in it too, but she didn’t fit well. It was way too small for her. She got stuck!! (hee hee hee)
We saw lots of people camping along the Bluff Area and Boulder Area of the park. I want to go back and camp. Mostly, I want to sit in my favorite rock again and look at the stars. Mom says she’d camp here because the bathrooms and showers are clean.
