Myles Standish State Forest, Nature reserve and forest in Carver, Massachusetts, United States.
The 12,400-acre forest contains pine barrens, oak forests, wetlands, and coastal plain kettle ponds formed through glacial activity.
Established in 1916, the forest received substantial development during the 1930s when the Civilian Conservation Corps planted more than 700,000 trees.
The land maintains deep connections to the Wampanoag people, who inhabited the region before European settlement in 1620.
Visitors access four camping areas, swimming at College Pond, 15 miles of paved bike paths, and 13 miles of forest trails.
The forest harbors 42 rare species, including the Northern Red-bellied Cooter turtle and specialized habitats like frost pockets.
