Blue Rock State Forest
6665 Cutler Lake Rd.
Blue Rock, Ohio 43720-9740
740-674-4035
The 4,579-acre Blue Rock State Forest, located 12 miles southeast of Zanesville is
accessed primarily via State Route 60 and Culter Lake Road.
Most of the marginally productive farmland was originally acquired by the federal
government during the 1930s under the Resettlement Administration. Surface ownership was
later transferred to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources' Division of Forestry while
the federal government retained three-fourths interest in the oil and gas rights.
Subsequent reforestration and the application of forest management and protection
practices have transformed low quality farmland into one of Ohio's most beautiful and
productive forests.
In 1949, management of Cutler Lake and the adjoining recreation facilities was
transferred to the Division of Parks and Recreation.
