Beaver Creek State Forest

Beaver Creek State Forest is a protected woodland area in eastern Ohio covering about 1,100 acres with hiking trails and flowing streams. The terrain includes several geological features shaped by past natural events.

The forest was established in the 1970s through a series of land acquisitions and conservation agreements in the Little Beaver Creek valley. These efforts protected the woodland for future use and preservation.

Local residents participate in educational programs focusing on environmental conservation while learning about the native flora and fauna within the forest boundaries.

Visitors should check marked hunting zone boundaries before exploring and understand which areas are designated for specific activities. Knowing the layout helps you stay in appropriate zones while enjoying the forest.

The Little Beaver Creek valley displays traces of four ancient glaciations, which is a remarkable geological feature. These ice age remnants are seldom found preserved in other North American stream valleys.
