About
Greene-Sullivan State Forest encompasses nearly 9,000 acres of reclaimed coal mining land donated to Indiana DNR beginning in 1936. The property features rolling hills and over 120 lakes scattered throughout, making it one of Indiana's most unique forests. Four primitive campgrounds provide a total of 100 family campsites at Narrow Lake, Wampler Lake, and Reservoir #26, plus 20 sites exclusively for horse campers at the Horseman's Campground near Ladder Lake. Each site includes a picnic table and grill, with pit toilets and seasonal drinking water available in each campground area. The forest is renowned for its fishing, with most lakes stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill, and redear sunfish. Reservoir #26 produced Indiana's state record bluegill at 3 pounds 4 ounces in 1972. Airline Lake receives annual rainbow trout stocking. About 60 lakes feature easy access with dirt or gravel boat ramps limited to electric trolling motors, while others are walk-in only for a more secluded experience. Additional activities include hunting for whitetail deer, turkey, and small game, along with extensive horseback riding trails, mushroom hunting, and wildlife viewing throughout the rolling woodland terrain.
