Fernwood State Forest, State forest in Jefferson County, Ohio, US
Fernwood State Forest encompasses 3,023 acres of ridges and valleys, featuring multiple trails, camping areas, and scenic viewing points across the natural landscape.
The land was acquired in 1961 and underwent extensive restoration following strip mining operations, with rehabilitation funded through the Appalachian Regional Development Act of 1965.
The Fernwood State Forest Land Lab serves as an educational center where visitors learn about natural resources, environmental science, and forest management principles.
Hidden Hollow Campground provides 22 family sites with picnic tables and fire rings, while three shooting ranges accommodate pistol, rifle, and trap shooting activities.
The forest's limestone deposits naturally neutralize acid mine water from previous coal extraction, creating a balanced ecosystem for local wildlife and vegetation.
