Harrison State Forest, State forest in Harrison County, United States.
Harrison State Forest encompasses 1,338 acres of woodland terrain with ridges and valleys covered in dense tree growth throughout Harrison County.
Established in 1961, the forest land underwent extensive coal mining operations before being transformed into a protected natural area.
The forest represents a successful environmental recovery project, where over 100,000 trees were planted across 186 acres in 1992 and 1993.
Two designated campsites provide visitors with picnic tables, fire rings, and vault restrooms, while twenty miles of trails accommodate both hikers and horse riders.
The presence of natural limestone deposits in the soil neutralizes acid mine drainage, enabling healthy forest regeneration despite the previous mining activities.
