A 19,000‑acre mixed hardwood and pine forest with rolling hills, streams, ponds and seasonal wildflower displays. Photographers can capture intimate woodland interiors, reflective beaver ponds and broad landscape vistas—best in spring for blooms and birds, and in October–November for vivid fall color. Access is via trailheads off Purdum Mill Rd; parking is limited at trailheads and there is no gate fee. Note seasonal hunting—wear blaze orange during fall and check state forest rules before visit
