Apache National Forest, Former national forest in eastern Arizona, United States.
The forest area covers 1,813,601 acres across Greenlee County, southern Apache County, and western Catron County in New Mexico.
The U.S. Forest Service established Apache National Forest on July 1, 1908, incorporating 1,302,711 acres from portions of Black Mesa National Forest.
The forest land holds connections to Apache tribes and includes four wilderness areas: Bear Wallow, Blue Range Primitive Area, Escudilla, and Mount Baldy.
Three ranger district offices operate in Alpine, Clifton, and Springerville, with Springerville serving as headquarters for the combined Apache-Sitgreaves forests.
In 1974, the forest merged administratively with Sitgreaves National Forest, forming the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests that continue operations today.
