Bunker Tower is an observation tower on the peak of Cheaha Mountain in Cheaha State Park located in Cleburne County, Alabama, U.S.A. The tower is located at the peak of Cheaha Mountain, the highest point in Alabama.[1] The tower is a large stone building completed in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps.[2] It originally had park offices and a gift shop in the wings on either side of the observation tower.
The tower is immediately adjacent to the very tall Alabama Public Television WCIQ transmitter tower which aids it being a central meeting place that can be easily found despite the trees and foliage at the top of Mount Cheaha.
