Salamonie River State Forest, State forest in Wabash and Huntington counties, Indiana, United States.
The 850-acre Salamonie River State Forest extends along the river bluffs, featuring dense woodlands, hiking paths, and the Hominy Ridge Lake.
Local residents assisted the state in purchasing the eroded land in the 1930s, leading to the establishment of this protected natural area.
The name originates from Native American term O-sah-mo-nee, referring to the yellow paint made from bloodroot plants growing along the riverbanks.
The forest provides two camping areas with 36 total sites, drinking water facilities, and designated spaces for both families and horse riders.
The Hominy Ridge Shelter House, constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps, earned recognition in the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
