List of Michigan state forests
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of state forests in the U.S. state of Michigan. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources manages the largest state forest system in the nation (3.9 million acres), administered by Forest, Mineral and Fire Management unit of the DNR.
In literature describing recreational uses of state forest lands, six state forests are identified. However, state forest lands are administered by fifteen DNR Forest Management Units (FMU). There is no state forest land in the southern portion of the Lower Peninsula.
