This forest is in southern Indiana. It borders the Ohio River through Brown, Bedford, Orange, Clark, Washington, and Scott County and Tell City. It is over 430,000 acres but only about 200,000 acres lay in the bounders because the rest are state parks or privately owned. When I went here last summer we were coming back form Holiday World Amusement Park, I didn't have much time to explore a lot of the land, but I did get to walk the Knobstone Trail for about 2 hours and then we had to leave. We seen a lot of birds, squirrels and a couple of rabbits, that was it. I really wish I had more time but since I didn't I planned the trip for this summer .We are leaving August 6 and we will spend two days camping at Blackwell Horsecamp and then off to Holiday World for two days. When I left last summer I picked up a bunch of brochures about this forest and I could not believe how much stuff you can do here. You can; camp, swim, canoe, hike, go boating, fishing, horseback riding, hunting and even go through some of the caves. I can't wait!

That will be so fun to go back there. That is something I would love to do...but with friends not my parents. You seem like a very outdoors person, which I am too it just may not seem like it. Your kids will have a blast going back too I bet. Are you going to to all things that you listed? If I went camping there I would want to go boating, fishing, horseback riding, and hiking. No swimming for me because you never know what is in the water...lol
