Perry State Forest, State forest in Perry County, Ohio.
Perry State Forest extends across 4,567 acres of varied terrain, featuring both hard pack and rocky trails with multiple elevation changes throughout the landscape.
The land transformation began in 1961 when the former coal mining site underwent extensive reforestation efforts to establish a protected natural environment.
Local environmental education programs within the forest connect communities through organized events that promote understanding of Ohio's natural resources and conservation methods.
The forest maintains 16 miles of designated ATV paths and 8 miles of horse trails, open from April through November with specific vehicle size restrictions.
Miles Lake provides water access specifically designed for horses, complementing the network of day-use bridle trails throughout the forest system.
