Web Sites: http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/tabid/754/default.aspx http://www.heartofhocking.com/backpacking_hocking_hills.htm Description - The Zaleski State Forest is the second largest forest in the system enveloping both Lake Hope and Lake Hope State Park. Several interesting areas exist within the forest including Waterloo Wildlife Management Area, Turkey Management Area and Ruffed Grouse Management Area. Attractions - At Zaleski State Forest visitors will discover Ohio's only publicly owned and operated sawmill. It began operation in 1967. Most new commercial mills are using the latest technologies such as computer operation and laser calibration. For this reason, the "low-tech" approach taken at Zaleski gives the mill an almost historical significance. By no means however is the Zaleski Sawmill a museum-piece. It is an efficient functioning mill that turns out specialty orders for many public works projects. Additionally, demonstrations and training activities (for example, grading workshops) are held every year at Zaleski. Location - Zaleski State Forest is due south of Logan. The Headquarters is near the village of Zaleski, on State Route 278.
