Hoosier National Forest
Indiana

Situated in the rolling hills of south central Indiana, the Hoosier hides its geologic viscera beneath a canopy of hickory and oak. A little intrepid exploration reveals a beguiling landscape of subterranean karst, underground rivers, caves, sinkholes, box canyons, limestone bluffs, and narrow ridges.

The Ohio River and the forest's four lakes offer a little something for everyone, including swimming, waterfowl viewing, canoeing, boating, and fishing for catfish and bass.

The forest is within a day's drive from Cincinnati, Louisville, Evansville, and Indianapolis.
