San Patricio State Forest, State forest in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
San Patricio State Forest extends across 68 acres of land, featuring diverse tree species and geological formations within the Northern Karst region of Puerto Rico.
The land transformed from Finca San Patricio agricultural farm to U.S. Army property before its designation as a protected forest reserve in August 2000.
Local environmentalists, scientists, and residents collaborated to protect this natural space, establishing it as an urban forest for research and community education.
Visitors can access the forest by appointment for activities such as birdwatching, educational tours, and picnicking, with facilities including an information center and restrooms.
This secondary forest contains three distinct geological units: alluvial fan deposits, watered limestone, and fossil-rich Cibao Formation within its protected boundaries.
