Perry State Forest is a state forest in Perry County, Ohio, United States.[1]
The land encompassing Perry State Forest was originally used for strip mining of coal, and was acquired by the state in 1961 after the mines were abandoned.[2] The forest has trails for hiking, horseback riding, and all-terrain vehicles.[1][2]
Environmental permits for a proposed new coal mine on 500 acres of Perry State Forest land were denied in 2020, amid intense local opposition to a mine on forest property.[3]
