Fond du Lac State Forest, State forest in Carlton and St. Louis Counties, Minnesota, US.
The forest encompasses 64,505 acres of diverse landscapes, including coniferous forests, lowland bogs, and wild rice lakes across two counties.
The composition of Fond du Lac State Forest changed significantly after the 1918 Cloquet Fire and subsequent controlled burns through the 1930s.
The forest boundaries intersect with Fond du Lac Indian Reservation, reflecting the connection between natural resources and Native American territories.
Visitors access 33 miles of mountain biking trails, 40 miles of ATV paths, and 18.3 miles of cross-country skiing routes throughout the year.
The Kettle Lake Wildlife Management Area integrates with the southern section of the forest, enhancing its ecological value.
