Other Names

Indian Branch

Last Known StatusOpen

This large state forest has miles of easy multiple use trails that wind through a scenic mixed pine wood forest. Trails are mostly flat and easy, making this a good choice to bring a beginner. The forest is open year-round except during scheduled deer hunting days which usually takes place in December and January.

The forest has beautiful scenic views with plenty of scattered wild flowers and abundant wildlife. The main staging area has a sign in board and self pay kiosk. Fishing is permitted at the lake however swimming or wading is prohibited.
