Tuskegee National Forest, Nature reserve in Macon County, Alabama, US.

Tuskegee National Forest is a nature reserve covering approximately 11,250 acres of terrain with forest ridges, stream terraces, hardwood forests, pine plantations, and open fields. The landscape shifts between dense woodland and open areas, creating varied habitats throughout.

Tuskegee National Forest is the smallest of Alabama's four national forests, all administered from Montgomery, with a local ranger district office in Tuskegee. Its level to moderately sloping ground, with broad ridges, stream terraces and floodplains, lies just north of Tuskegee and west of Auburn in Macon County, the only county the forest occupies.

The forest lies just north of Tuskegee, home of Tuskegee University, and the Bartram Trail, named for 18th-century naturalist William Bartram, runs partly through it. The forest is the smallest in the U.S. National Forest system and one of only six contained entirely within a single county.

The area offers four hiking trails, three mountain biking paths, and riding routes for different activities. Visitors also find two fishing ponds, a shooting range, and several primitive camping sites for overnight stays.

The forest is the smallest of the four national forests in Alabama, the others being Conecuh, Talladega and William B. Bankhead. All four share a single headquarters in Montgomery, while a local ranger district office sits in Tuskegee itself.
