Stanislaus National Forest, National forest in Sierra Nevada, California, US
The Stanislaus National Forest encompasses 898,099 acres of land with 78 lakes, 811 miles of rivers, and extensive old-growth forests of Jeffrey Pine.
The United States Forest Service established this protected area on February 22, 1897, naming it after the Stanislaus River that flows through the region.
Native American artifacts and historical sites throughout the forest document centuries of human interaction with the Sierra Nevada mountain landscapes.
Visitors access two ski resorts, multiple campgrounds, and 1,100 miles of hiking trails through ranger district offices in Groveland, Hathaway Pines, and Pinecrest.
The forest contains the entire Emigrant Wilderness and sections of the Carson-Iceberg and Mokelumne Wildernesses, featuring granite peaks and volcanic formations.
