Morgan–Monroe State Forest is a state forest in Morgan County and Monroe County of Indiana, and is the second-largest state forest in Indiana. The 24,000 acres (97 km2) comprising this deciduous forest was abandoned farmland, as the previous residents realized that the land's rocky soil was very poor for agricultural purposes. In 1929, the state of Indiana purchased the land to prevent further erosion and to create the state forest.
