Wayne National Forest
This is the one National Forest in Ohio.
The Wayne National Forest is nestled among the Appalachian Foothills in southeast Ohio. The region is distinctly Appalachian in culture, heavily forested, and rich in history. Southeast Ohio is a tourist’s dream, with ample opportunities to explore nature, eat at local restaurants, and shop at local stores—all within a short drive of each other. Southeast Ohio is a landscape healing from a period of exploitation during the 1800s and early 1900s. The forests you see today throughout the region are young and regrew after the extractive industries left the region by the mid-1900s. Signs of this immediate past are found everywhere throughout the region, from old ghost towns to abandoned mines, human-made ponds, old strip mines, and more. This is especially true for the Wayne National Forest, which was pieced together from old farmland and mineland as part of a large-scale restoration project.
