Blue Rock State Forest

Welcome to Blue Rock State Forest located in Muskingum County, Ohio.

Forest History: Up until the 1930's much of the land that is now Blue Rock State Forest was used for agricultural purposes before the U.S. Government purchased the land under the Resettlement Administration. Eventually surface ownership was transferred to the State of Ohio but the Federal Government maintains the rights to 75% of the forest's natural gas and petroleum resources. Wildlife: Blue Rock State Forest helps protect the home of numerous wild critters including raccoons, deer, squirrels, foxes, and wild turkeys. Please treat their home with respect.

For the lover of the outdoors this forest boasts over 26 miles of multipurpose trails and so much more. Come on out and explore!
