Big River State Forest

Big River State Forest offers peaceful, wooded scenery with well-kept loop and multiuse trails for hiking, horseback riding, snowmobiling and scenic drives. The small campground is shaded and pleasant with shower facilities; pavilions have power and running water, though campsites lack electrical hookups. Visitors praise wildlife viewing and historic spots but note limited signage and maps, which can make trails hard to find. Some users report maintenance concerns and widened or closed trail segments, and several mention a notable tick problem—visitors should take precautions. Overall a quiet, rustic area with modest amenities and some practical tradeoffs.
