National Forest Parks
Anyone who appreciates the natural beauty of unspoiled wilderness should check out some National Forest parks. U.S. National Forests are popular destinations and are often located within the bounds of national parks. Many of the activities that can be enjoyed at these forests include camping, hiking, mountain biking, bird watching and more. What you can expect depends on which forest you visit. Because there are so many, you are likely to find one within reasonable distance from your location. Across the United States there are millions of acres of National Forests to explore and enjoy.
One well known forest is Sequoia National Forest in California. Located close to Sequoia National Park, the forest is home to giant sequoia groves and granite monoliths. If you are planning on a trip to the National Park you cannot miss the forest. The breathtaking beauty of the giant sequoia trees and the monument erected to them is not a landmark to be missed. Another popular forest in California is Tahoe National Forest, a prime location for hiking, biking and so much more.
A state with many nationally protected forests is Oregon. Here you will discover forests such as Mount Hood National Forest, Fremont National Forest and Deschutes National Forest to name just three. Some states only have one forest, like Pennsylvania where Allegheny National Forest is located. Another state with only one national forest is Ohio, home to Wayne National Forest. No matter where you are in the country there should be a forest near you to enjoy. The best way to find a forest in your area is with a little Internet research.
The U.S. Forest Service has a site where you can learn more about what they do in addition to the designated forests in the country. There is also a great deal of other information online such as a Wikipedia list of all the forests by state and many other sites that focus around one or more national forests. National Forest Parks are also something you may want to look up, because in many cases the forest is either part of or close to a National Park which are also popular vacation destinations. Whether you're visiting for a day or a lot longer, our nation's forests have a lot to offer.
