The DNR is updating maps for all 60 of our state forests. Maps will continue to be updated for the next two years. Below is a list of the forests that have new maps.
State forest users now have two options:
A geospatial PDF (GeoPDF) map allows users to download a map onto a mobile device using various map apps and then track their location as a blue dot on the screen. To get started, click on the GeoPDF link from the individual state forest webpage.
A user-friendly paper map highlights each forest's unique recreation features and includes pop-out maps for popular campgrounds and day-use areas. You can get a free paper map at a local DNR office or by contacting the DNR Info Center (888-646-6367).
The maps provide more detail than previous versions and highlight the endless recreation opportunities in state forests, such as hiking, mountain biking, birding, berry picking, cross-country skiing, hunting, and horseback, ATV, and snowmobile riding. Many state forests also offer campgrounds, fishing piers, boat launches, swimming beaches, and picnic areas.
