The best camping near Fernwood State Forest guide

Overview

About

Prepare to have your breath taken away—Fernwood State Forest boasts over 3,000 acres of stunning vistas and hunting and fishing galore. Lace up your must trusted pair of boots and hike some of the three-mile loop trails that lead to scenic views of the countryside, then look to the wildlife for some good game. Anglers will love the pond fishing dispersed throughout the area, stocked with bluegill, channel catfish, and largemouth bass just waiting to be fried up for that next campfire meal. With ranges open daily from sunrise to sunset, hunters can chase down white-tailed deer or small animals like grouse or rabbit to stock up the freezer for winter.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Fernwood State Forest is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the foliage presents a stunning display of colors. Summer offers a full bloom of forest life, though it can be quite warm. Winters are less crowded but can be cold, so prepare accordingly.

Know before you go

  • Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
  • Be aware of park hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm, and plan your trip within these times.
  • Remember to leave no trace; pack out all your trash to keep the forest pristine.
  • Some areas may be inaccessible due to seasonal closures or maintenance; check the latest updates online.
  • While amenities may be limited, ensure you have enough supplies and water for your adventure.
