Loess Hills State Forest
Overview
Loess Hills State Forest, near Iowa’s western border in Harrison and Monona counties, comprises 11,484 acres across four units. The forest sits in the heart of the Loess Hills, a unique geological ridge formed over time by wind-blown soil, known for its unusual terrain and scenic natural areas. Loess Hills State Forest is Iowa’s newest publicly-owned forest, established through land donations and purchases starting in 1985. Today, the main goal of the forest is to implement effective management practices for the benefit of long-term natural resource stewardship, while providing outdoor recreation opportunities.
