    Find Your Forest Map

    This link popped up on my Facebook feed. Apparently Google and apple maps have removed some of the green boundaries signifying the National Forests so the USDA wanted to make sure we could all find them.

    On a side note....What is with the giant hole in the middle of the country? Nothing in Iowa?

    Interesting to see where they all fall. Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island have nothing. Kansas has one little blip. You'd think Maine would have something...

      Somewhat unbelievably, there aren't any in Maryland either. Fortunately, we have several State Forests.

      • Garrett State Forest
      8,042 acres. In Garrett County, 5 miles northwest of Oakland, off U.S. Route 219. The forest contains a diversity of trees, abundant wildlife and beautiful scenery. In 1906 this forest was given to the state of Maryland and was the beginning of our present public lands system.

      • Garrett Kindness Demonstration Area
      The Kindness Demonstration Area features a 1.25 mile self guided hiking trail through 387 acres of forestland with signs explaining forest management and wildlife improvement practices. See the forest through the trees and better understand how foresters manage our precious forest resources.

      • Green Ridge State Forest - MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME!
      46,560 acres. In eastern Allegany County, about 22 miles east of Cumberland, Exit 64 on Interstate 68. This vast forest stretches across the mountains of Western Maryland and occupies portions of Town Hill, Polish Mountain and Green Ridge Mountain. Wildlife is plentiful and includes wild turkey, grouse, squirrel and deer. There is an accessible overlook at the forest headquarters with a trail.

      • Potomac State Forest
      9,915 acres. In southeastern Garrett County, off MD Route 135. The Potomac River has its headwaters in this rugged mountain forest where wildlife abounds and there is excellent trout fishing.

      • Savage River State Forest
      54,594 acres. In central and eastern Garrett County, generally south of U.S. Route 40. Savage River State Forest is a strategic watershed surrounding the Savage River Reservoir. This forest is classified as a northern hardwood forest. 11,135 acres of the forest have been designated as Wildlands.
