With approximately 180 acres, Lake Howard borders the Talladega National Forest, with some of the most pristine scenery in the state. There is an abundance of game fish, including bass, bream, and crappie, or you may try your hand at catfishing. This area is subject to the State of Alabama hunting and fishing regulations.
A new 14 mile trail system includes a combination of singletrack and existing fire roads in the Talladega National Forest. Built by the NFS, Sylacauga Recreation Dept, COGS and Trails Unlimited, this trail offers 4 different loops which make up the total distance of 14 miles. Maintained by Cyclist of Greater Sylacauga (COGS).
