Badoura State Forest

Badoura State Forest spans 15,535 acres across Cass and Hubbard Counties, featuring extensive wetlands and dense stands of Jack pine throughout the territory.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources established Badoura State Forest in 1963 to protect and manage the natural resources of this northern region.

The forest lands hold connections to both Native American communities and early Minnesota settlers who utilized the natural resources for their traditional practices.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources manages 85 percent of the forest area, providing designated spaces for hunting, hiking, and backcountry camping activities.

The Badoura Fire Tower stands within the forest boundaries at coordinates 46.8388° N latitude and -94.7125° W longitude, marking a central point in the landscape.
