Sunfish Creek State Forest

Sunfish Creek State Forest is a protected forest area in Monroe County covering 637 acres of woodlands crossed by streams and hiking paths. The terrain features gentle slopes and thick forest cover that give visitors room to explore different parts of the land.

The forest was established in 1963 by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources as a protected land to preserve local ecosystems. This decision was part of growing efforts to maintain sustainable forest management across the region.

The forest supports educational programs through guided tours and information sessions, teaching visitors about regional ecosystems and conservation methods.

The forest is open daily from 6 AM to 11 PM and has no entrance fee. Visitors can pick berries, nuts, and mushrooms in areas designated for this activity.

The forest functions as a designated hunting ground while maintaining conservation efforts for indigenous species and regional wildlife populations.
