Brush Creek State Forest, State forest in Adams County, Ohio, United States
Brush Creek State Forest spans 13,161 acres of hardwood forests with steep hillsides, deep hollows, and narrow ridge tops throughout the protected landscape.
The forest began with 285 acres in 1928 as part of Shawnee State Forest before becoming a separate entity in the early 1950s.
The forest takes its name from Scioto Brush Creek, maintaining the natural heritage of the region through conservation and public recreation.
The forest features three miles of hiking trails and twelve miles of bridle trails, with visitors required to bring their own water supplies.
Among the forest's flora, researchers have documented ground cone flowers, which are not commonly found in this geographical region.
