Shawnee State Forest is a state forest in the U.S. state of Ohio. It is located in western Scioto County and encompasses 63,747 acres (25,797 ha) of woodland. It is the largest state forest in Ohio.[1] As with many government owned forests, some parts of Shawnee are actively managed through logging and other activities. However, approximately 8,000 acres (3,200 ha) of the forest is designated as wilderness, with no roads or logging allowed.
