Goethe State Forest, Protected forest in Levy County, United States
Goethe State Forest encompasses 53,398 acres of varied habitats including pine forests, wetlands, and cypress swamps along the Gulf Coast of Florida.
The forest establishment in 1992 followed James Tillinghast Goethe's donation of land, with additional sections purchased by the state in 2010.
The forest management combines recreational access through four trailheads on County Road 337 with conservation efforts for native wildlife species.
Visitors need permits from the State Forest Service headquarters for primitive camping, while hunting activities require specific licenses from wildlife authorities.
The Goethe Giant, a nine-foot diameter bald cypress tree, stands in the Cow Creek tract as the largest tree specimen in the forest.
