PARKS • INDIANA

May 3, 2024

Grundy State Forest is located in southern Indiana and covers more than 1,000 acres of land. It is a popular destination for hiking, bird watching, and camping. Some of the notable points of interest in the forest include the Pioneer Mothers Memorial Forest, which is a designated state nature preserve, and the breathtaking views of the Ohio River from the scenic overlooks. Visitors can also enjoy fishing in the nearby Hardy Lake or explore the forest's many trails, which are great for hiking and biking.

Grundy State Forest is also known for its rich history. The land was once home to Native American tribes, and later became a site for logging and farming. Visitors can learn about the area's past by visiting the Pioneer Mothers Memorial Forest and exploring the old-growth trees that still stand today.

The best time to visit Grundy State Forest is in the fall, when the leaves change colors and the weather is mild. However, the forest is open year-round and offers a variety of activities for visitors to enjoy in every season.
