Bienville National Forest, National forest in Jasper County, Mississippi, United States.
Bienville National Forest is a large woodland preserve in Mississippi with mixed pine and oak stands. The area is crossed by the Leaf and Strong Rivers and offers several lakes for fishing.
The preserve was created in 1936 as part of a nationwide land acquisition program. These early protection efforts were part of efforts to preserve forest stands across the United States.
Local ranger district offices in Forest, Mississippi, conduct educational programs about native flora and fauna for visitors throughout the year.
The forest offers many campgrounds, trails, and picnic areas for visitors. The lakes allow fishing trips for various fish species during the open season.
The area contains three designated wildlife zones that provide habitats for white-tailed deer and wild turkeys. These zones are important for maintaining these animal populations in the region.
