Hoosier National Forest

at Hoosier National Forest

The Hoosier National Forest, in the hills of south central Indiana, provides a wide mix of opportunities and resources for people to enjoy. Rolling hills, back-country trails, and rural crossroad communities make this small but beautiful Forest a local treasure. Forest managers work with the public to develop a shared vision of how this 203,000 acre Forest should be managed. We strive to provide outstanding stewardship by restoring, maintaining, and interpreting the cultural and natural resources of our public lands. We offer high quality, resilient and rare ecosystems that provide diverse outdoor recreational experiences.

Spring Mill State Park

Linking the Natural and Cultural World

Water flowing from several cave springs led to the founding of an industrial village in the early 1800s. Pioneer entrepreneurs took advantage of a constant water source that never froze, using it to power several gristmills, a wool mill, a saw mill, and a distillery. In turn, pioneer settlers shaped the landscape around the village, clearing land for agriculture and timber.
