Morgan-Monroe State Forest, located in south-central Indiana, spans over 24,515.5 acres across Morgan and Monroe counties, characterized by its steep ridges, valleys, and diverse hardwoods. Established in 1929, the forest offers insights into the region's ecological history and wildlife management through its educational displays in the forest office, which features a blend of 17 unique wood species.

The state forest provides various camping options, including primitive camping and a dedicated area for youth scout groups, all governed by a carry-in carry-out policy to maintain its natural state. Visitors can enjoy backcountry camping while adhering to specific regulations that promote minimal impact on the environment.
