YELLOWWOOD STATE FOREST ADVISORIES

 * Due to the unexpected closure of the county road that the Tecumseh Trail uses
   to reconnect with state land to the north and because of No Trespassing signs
   erected by the railroad for public safety, the Tecumseh Trail is closed at
   the section shown on the map until further notice.


DESCRIPTION

Yellowwood State Forest was created in 1940 when federal land was leased to the
state of Indiana. The land was deeded to the state in 1956. Before that time,
the Civilian Conservation Corps and Works Project Administration completed three
lakes, a shelter house, and a residence, all still in use.

More than 2,000 abandoned and eroded acres were planted to pine (red, jack,
shortleaf, white, and scotch), black locust, black walnut, white, and red oak.
Red and white pines are the true northern pines and are still in good condition.
The other pines are succumbing to insects, disease, and extremely cold winters.

Yellowwood Lake was completed in 1939. The 133-acre lake is about 30 feet deep.

Yellowwood State Forest is close to Brown County State Park, the quaint village
of Nashville, T.C. Steele State Historic Site, Monroe Lake, and Morgan-Monroe
State Forest.

Yellowwood State Forest has gained various parcels over the last decade and
currently encompasses 24,162.9 acres.

   Gold Panning
   
   Panning for gold is permitted on Morgan-Monroe and Yellowwood State Forests.
   A gold panning permit is required! The permit, which can be obtained free of
   charge, allows for panning gold on a hobby basis. The displacement of any
   material through the use of a pick, shovel, or sluice is not allowed due to
   concern for water quality. Archaeological evidence found, such as projectile
   points, pottery, or bones must be reported to the Forest Office to determine
   if a major archaeological site is in the vicinity. To obtain a permit, visit
   or call the Forest Office at 812-988-7945.
   
   The Lodge at Yellowwood
   
   The Lodge at Yellowwood is a newly renovated log cabin with all the comforts
   of home. The Lodge has a quaint front porch for relaxing and wildlife
   viewing, with a large back patio for grilling and outside dining. The lodge
   is located a few short miles from the main body of Yellowwood State Forest,
   where you can find numerous miles of trails to hike, including horse trails.
   The forest also includes a large lake for fishing and kayaking; kayaks and
   rowboats can be rented from the Forest Office. Get rental rates and
   information.
   
   The Yellowwood Tree
   
   Yellowwood State Forest is named for a tree common in the mid-south but rare
   this far north. The yellowwood tree (Cladrastis kentukea) has bright yellow
   heartwood that is hard and dense. The tree flowers abundantly but only every
   three to five years in the spring with loose clusters of pea-like, fragrant
   white flowers. Seeds are in bean pods similar to its cousin the black locust.
   The leaves are compound and the bark is similar to the American beech.
   
   Picnicking
   
   There are picnic areas and one picnic shelter available for day use. Picnic
   tables and grills are located at most picnic sites. The picnic shelter may be
   reserved by contacting the property office.

   The following boats are available to rent at Yellowwood Lake: rowboats,
   kayaks, and paddleboats. Rental hours are between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday
