Hocking State Forest

About Hocking State Forest

The Hocking State Forest manages woodland areas that promote forest recovery, and the area is also used for tree sowing for nurseries.

These include harvested and improved timber products and thinning, as well as wood chips, wood pellets and other wood products.

The proceeds from the state timber sale are divided between the district and district governments, where the timber comes from. The department's primary goal is to prevent, detect and fight wildfires that occur in Hocking State Forest and other areas of Hockett County.

Due to the natural gas storage fields under the forest area, you will be able to see many gas sources and transmission lines. 90 - 90 hectares of forest are reserved for climbing and abseiling, and the parking lot is accessible on foot from rock walls to rock walls. The area is located on the western edge of the Hocking State Forest, south of Interstate 75.

This is a great terrain for developing your sport and high quality equipment can be used for a variety of climbing and abseiling activities such as rock climbing, rock jumping, abseiling or rock climbing.

The natural vegetation of the Hocking State Forest is a mixture of native plants from the eastern United States and other parts of the world. Plants that are often found further north, such as pine and oak, are mixed with typical southern species to provide a variety of bird habitats and related animal species, as well as a wide variety of animal species.
