Click thumbnail to enlarge The Pigeon River Country State Forest and surrounding land is home to the largest free-roaming elk herd east of the Mississippi River. The 95,000- acre state forest contains native hardwoods and pines that are interspersed with fields and forest openings. At the Park Headquarters you can view some nice displays about the wildlife and plants found throughout the Pigeon River Country Forest. You can also pick up permits, maps and other information on hiking, hunting, kayaking, cross country skiing, camping and site seeing.
