This is one of the best and most beautiful state forests in Indiana. It's very sad they are raping it by logging without any regard for anything but money. When will they learn?

Great area, and one of the few left, somewhat remote, local properties are around, but the hiking trail are nice. Love it here!

Beautifully wooded paradise! Several types of camping areas for tents and campers ( no electricity hook ups). Big shelter house with lake views, ample clean restrooms and great trails. It's so quiet and serene! And with a small playground near the shelter house, it's a great place for family camping.

A nice picnic spot on the north end of the lake. There is also a great pine forest unique in the area.

Great for our kayaks, nice crowd we ran into, and free entrance. The road with two creeks that we drove through to get there was super cool!! Please drive safely and slowly, there are houses with children 👍

I went for the Jackson Creek Trail because I heard it was handicapped accessible. Turns out it is only partially accessible. There are some tree roots that I made it over in my manual chair. Eventually the path went from paved to gravel and I found it impassable. I had to turn around. But it was still throughly enjoyable. Handicapped accessible bathrooms by the main office.response / report this review -

Love this place! Yellowwood is all over brown county. There is a large patch of it practically in my back yard. Even though they logged it a couple years ago it's still a great place to find mushrooms. This area has no marked trails but there are other parts that do.

Camped for many years this is by far the most relaxing and peaceful sites I've ever had the pleasure of staying at.

This place has comparable features/topography to other surrounding natural areas, but the best part is that the volume of visitors is well below the volume of surrounding areas. This is ideal for birding/tranquility because you are less likely to be disturbed loud & disrespectful "hikers". Unfortunately, state logging operations have been increasing within Yellowwod and clear cutting seems to be the preferred logging method.
Multiflora rose (rosa multiflora) is widespread and seems to be getting worse this growing season. I'm guessing this is likely due to the increase in logging operations as well as the early arrival of spring. Multiflora rose has been able to start growing well before native plants and sadly, you can see the invasive plant aggressively outgrowing and out competing native species. Would be nice to see the State Forestry Dept. be more aggressive in managing the threat that the invasive species pose to the biodiversity at this property.response / report this review -

My favorite lake to kayak. Take the northern launch, turn right, and go through the reeds to see some great wildlife!

Great trails for traipsing through the woods. Well marked despite how rugged some sections are. Looking forward to returning
