The 2,819-acre Clark Hill State Forest was purchased from 20 separate landowners between August 14, 1933 and September 21, 1950. As with most state forests, the majority of this land was pasture and cropland not so very long ago. The terrain features hilly, rocky, scenic views, with a variety of streams and small drainages. It has tranquil, rolling woodland areas and unique gorges with flowing streams at the bottom. Only Buck Hill Road is plowed all the way through in the winter. Latteiman Road and Boody Hill Road are usually only plowed up to where the state land begins.
