Zaleski State Forest, State forest in southeastern Ohio, United States.
The second largest forest in Ohio covers 28,000 acres of land with diverse flora and fauna throughout the Allegheny Plateau region.
The forest established its state-owned sawmill in 1967, which continues to produce lumber for Ohio's state parks and government facilities.
The Moonville Tunnel, located within the forest boundaries, draws visitors interested in local folklore and reported supernatural occurrences.
The forest features a 23-mile backpacking trail system, multiple camping areas, and over 50 miles of equestrian paths for outdoor activities.
The forest maintains Ohio's only publicly owned sawmill, offering demonstrations and training workshops while serving public works projects.
