Smokey Bear State Forest

Rainy Lake, Minnesota

Welcome to Minnesota's beautiful Smokey Bear State Forest located near the Canadian Border outside of the town of Rainy Lake. Although this is a State Forest, this forest is named for the official Mascot of the United States Forest Service, and although there are black bears in this forest, Smokey the Bear's real life home was actually in the Lincoln National Forest in New Mexico which is much closer to the United States/Mexico Border than the United States/Canada Border. Recreational facilities are limited in this small forest.
