Perry State Forest is a state forest in Perry County, Ohio, United States. The land encompassing Perry State Forest was originally used for strip mining of coal, and was acquired by the state in 1961 after the mines were abandoned. The forest has trails for hiking, horseback riding, and all-terrain vehicles. Environmental permits for a proposed new coal mine on 500 acres of Perry State Forest land were denied in 2020, amid intense local opposition to a mine on forest property.
