Burntside State Forest, State forest in northeastern Minnesota, United States
Burntside State Forest extends across 74,815 acres of land characterized by rough topography and contains 43 lakes within its boundaries.
Founded in 1905, the forest underwent changes after an 1874 wildfire that transformed the landscape, leaving only jack pine and aspen trees.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources organizes educational programs and guided nature walks to promote understanding of local ecosystems.
The forest provides six public access points to Burntside Lake, where visitors can fish for walleye, lake trout, and observe common loons.
Eighty-two percent of the forest territory lies within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, part of Superior National Forest.
