Woodland Education Trail - 1.25 milesEasy. Self-guided trail - follow yellow arrows on the posts. Information signs are located throughout thetrail to point out interesting facets of the woodland environment. This trail serves as a sampler of the varietyof activities found within the state forest system. Hiking this trail allows you to better understand thephilosophy of multiple-use management on Indiana's state forests.
Arboretum Trail - .25 mile Easy. This informal arboretum (a place for the study and exhibition of trees) was established in an existing wooded area. Species are being added to those which were already present; the collection currently contains about 60 different species identified by signs along the trail. The most common species, such as oaks and hickories, are represented within the arboretum by several specimens. Eventually the collection will contain between 80 and 100 different species. The goal of the Martin State Forest Hoosier Woodland Arboretum is to offer a representation of the common woodland trees if Indiana.
