I love coming here. Though it is an active logging area so sometimes it looks a bit depressing when all the trees are cut. The trails range from easy to difficult, and I enjoy doing all types. I recommend the difficult trails to be experienced drivers off road.

Great place to off-road with wide ranging degrees of difficulty. Suitable for motorcycles, atv, utv, 4x4 trucks, etc.

Had a blast this weekend! Lots of pretty places to see! My fav trails to ride are #8, #9 and military #43.. beautiful nature, huge trees, fun and sometimes dangerous trails, but really good place to camp and ride on your ATV. Great camp sites, clean restrooms, pretty little river on the site! Nice to spend time with family or friends! Love this place and would definitely go there again.

In a designated campground the fee is $15 per night they have pit toilets and fire pits You can came in the forest but as of this date the fire ban IS on so NO fires even for cooking and as always what you pack in you MUST pack out My parents always told me to leave a place cleaner than you found it this would be a great thing to pass on this means spent gun shells as well

Chance Galloway | Aug 20, 2021
Alexander Stefanovich | Aug 20, 2021

No, "Updated Sept. 14, 2020, 12:15 p.m. Public use and entry closure to all ODF-managed forests is extended through at least Wednesday, Sept. 16. Fire danger remains extreme, air quality is bad to hazardous, and last week’s wind storms caused downed trees on roads and other safety problems that need to be cleared. We appreciate your understanding." And save your lungs with all the smoke in the area

Theres not a lot of open room to go wherever you want, but a lot of the trails would be wide enough. The problem is they almost never have enough snow.
