morgan-monroe state forest印象

We love this place. The trails are well maintained and quiet...no crowds! Because you don't see a lot of people, I don't go alone. There is cell service in most areas. Although we have only hiked at the forestry, I believe they have camping, paved roads for biking, possibly hunting, shelter houses and two cabins to rent (one small and one larger one). There is no fee for entry.

good trails, several miles total throughout. connects to the Techumseh trail (have not tried that part yet) Camping allowed on some trails. We did the Low Gap Trail, about 10 miles in 4 hours.

This is something the state of Indiana did right. Preserving nature for all to enjoy. The park is easy to get to. Enjoy the seasons given the chance.

I grew up with this forestry in my back yard. But I still visit it often. I have been hiking all over it through the years. The best part about it; finding neat old stuff randomly. Last summer while hiking through the forest with my kids, we came across what appeared to be a foundation of a house from who knows when. ( we go off trail ) We found a broken mason jar protruding from the ground and some rocks that looked like they had some purpose (I'm not a historian by any means, not sure what the earlier settlers of this area may have used these for). I'm sure if we had dug down a little bit, we could have found more interesting artifacts. We have also come across all-but-forgotten cemetaries along the years. Yes, ones aside from the legendary Stepp Cemetary, which will probably not be forgotten any time soon! I know in the Hindustan area of the forestry (Monroe county side), we have found a lot of things similar to this throughout the years. I find it so intriguing because those days are so long gone, they were such simple times. Gets you thinking!Stepp Cemetary has some interesting stories behind it; if you're into that kind of thing, you should look up the tales, and visit it some time. It's a local legend.Anyway, I find tranquility in hiking in these woods, I always have. I'd highly recommend any part of it to anyone. You'll find small lakes, shelter houses, campgrounds, picnic areas, etc.

Morgan-Monroe State Forest's boundaries are almost adjacent to ours. It's mostly just forest, with the remains of old settlements still visible in places. Some great folklore is associated with Morgan-Monroe, too, with some pretty great ghost stories.

Has some of our favorite nearby picnic spots. The last time we had one was in October. Multiple picnic areas with both shelter houses (which can be reserved for large groups) and individual tables under the trees or in the sunshine. Fishing, hiking, and camping. Some hunting areas in season.Ignore the silly woman who was afraid of ghost stories about the Stepp Cemetery. Website: http://www.in.gov/dnr/forestry/4816.htm

This is a very good state forest to visit for a day with your family. Lots of nature to take in, good picnic areas.

This is a very scary place to visit. There is an old cemetary within the park that satanists frequent. Many odd and creepy stories from this place. Not a safe place to be.

Many parts of Indiana are devoid of anything nice to look at while driving. This place is easy to get to and fun to visit. Beautiful areas that most local residents take for granted...or don't even bother.We drive or hike parts of it at least once a week.

Love driving through this forest especially in the fall. Enjoy riding my cycle there, very little traffic.
