Piedmont, Alabama — a true Trail Town.
Piedmont sits at the intersection of major outdoor systems that draw cyclists, hikers, paddlers, and families from all over the world. They come here for the Chief Ladiga Trail, Pinhoti Trail, Terrapin Creek and 480,000 acres of Talladega National Forest that surround Calhoun County, including Dugger Mountain. Here, the trail corridor isn’t “near downtown” — it’s integrated into the downtown grid. Experience Piedmont and if you love the outdoors you will want to stay. We encourage growth in our community with our excellent school system, healthy outdoor lifesytle and low cost of living making this a desirable place to live.
Why Piedmont checks the box as a Trail Town
Downtown is part of the corridor
The Chief Ladiga Trail corridor threads through the downtown street grid, making it easy for visitors to ride, walk, eat, shop, and gather without “leaving the trail.”
Multiple outdoor experiences
Piedmont is positioned for multi-sport visitors: cycling on the Chief Ladiga, hiking on the Pinhoti, and paddling Terrapin Creek— plus access to Talladega National Forest and regional destinations.
Local businesses prosper
Trail towns win when visitors can easily transition from experience to downtown. Piedmont’s downtown footprint makes that possible.
