Yellowwood State Forest, State forest in Brown County, Indiana, US
The 24,000-acre forest contains multiple lakes, hiking paths, and dense woodland areas with pine trees, black locust, black walnut, white and red oak species.
The forest began as the Beanblossom Land Utilization Project in 1940 when federal land was leased to Indiana, receiving full state ownership in 1956.
The Civilian Conservation Corps and Works Project Administration built three lakes, a shelter house, and multiple structures that remain operational today.
Visitors access the forest through SR 45 via Lanam Ridge Road east to Yellowwood Lake Road, or through SR 46 located south of the main area.
Large sandstone boulders weighing approximately 200 pounds have been discovered in the tops of three trees within the forest boundaries.
