Northern Highland American Legion State Forest

The American Legion State Forest was established in 1929 as an independent entity, bordering the Northern Highland State Forest to the south. The American Legion was in Oneida County and the Northern Highland in Vilas and Iron Counties. In 1968 the American Legion State Forest and the Northern Highland State Forest were combined and became the Southern and Northern Units of the Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest. It comprises about 220,000 acres of second growth forest, managed for recreation, wildlife and forest production.

In 2007 the DNR, University of Wisconsin, and other groups sponsored a forest art exhibit along the Raven Trail. 28 artists created interesting large-scale forest art exhibit with various ecological themes. For more information, and pictures, see the website linked below, and these two bibliographic references: Wisconsin Natural Resources and Forest Art.
