Manuel F. Correllus State Forest, Protected forest in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, United States.
Manuel F. Correllus State Forest is a protected woodland with pine forests, open grasslands, and heathland spread across the island's interior. The terrain varies from dense tree coverage to open meadows with numerous trails winding through different sections.
The site was established in 1908 to protect a native bird species that later disappeared from the area. The land was then managed for broader conservation goals and public recreation.
This forest is a gathering place where island residents and visitors explore nature together on foot and by bike. The trails create connections across the landscape and offer a shared outdoor experience for different groups throughout the year.
Free parking areas are located at multiple points around the forest edges, making it easy to enter the woodland from different directions. The trails support various activities, so checking conditions and arriving early helps avoid crowding on popular paths.
The forest borders an active airport on three sides, creating an unusual blend of woodland and aviation. This unexpected setting allows visitors to enjoy natural surroundings while occasionally hearing aircraft overhead.
