Welcome to Owen-Putnam State Forest!
Owen-Putnam State Forest contains 6,680 acres of forested land and is a great place to get away. Hike through some of the best hardwood forests in the country. Enjoy deer, squirrel and turkey hunting. Fish in one of the many small ponds. Horseback ride through some of the beautiful hills of south central Indiana. This property consists of many scattered holdings in a north-south orientation and because of this scattered nature of landholding, care should be exercised to avoid trespassing on private land.
Campgrounds
We have three campgrounds. Each of these operates on a “first-come, first serve” basis, with a self-registration booth located in each campground. All campgrounds are primitive, with a picnic table; grill and parking spur at each campsite. There is water available at Fish Creek Campground during the warmer months. However, at the Horse Camp and Rattlesnake Campground there is no drinking water available. You can access water from our office, via an outside water spigot or at Fish Creek Campground. Rates for Fish Creek Campground and Rattlesnake Campground are $13.00 a night, including tax, and the Horse Camp is $13.00 a night, including tax. If you are interested in riding horses on state property you must obtain an annual bridal tag to ride. You may purchase the tags at our office during normal business hours, Monday- Friday from 7:30am to 3:30 pm. The annual tags are $20.00 each and the Daily tags are $5.00 each. These tags are required from January 1st through December 31st.

Hiking Trails
Hiking is available on the forest fire lane trails and the bridle trails throughout the forest property.
Owen-Putnam’s self-guided Poplar Top trail is 1.75 miles long
Mountain Bike Trail The bike trail is part of the Blue Horse Trail and lies north of Atkinsonville Rd. We believe most riders will find the approximately 12-mile-long ride moderately difficult.
A cycling permit is required to use the trail. We want you to have a great time. For the enjoyment of all our visitors, please keep a few things in mind.
Mountain bikes are only permitted on the marked areasof the Blue Horse Trail.
Bikers share the trail with horseback riders. Right-of wayshould be yielded to people on horseback.
The trail is marked with blue decals, a horse and abicycle, on Carsonite brand posts. The markers arelocated on the right side of the trail until you pass thehalfway point on the loop. At that point, the markers willbe on the left side.
To get to the trailhead parking lot (4-6 car capacity), travel north on Fish Creek Rd. until you reach the intersection of Atkinsonville Rd. – Hale Hill Rd., which is approximately 5 miles north of State Road 46. Turn left (west) and travel approximately 3/4 mile to the trailhead parking lot located on the right (north) side of Atkinsonville Rd. Please do not block the fire lane entrance, which is normally marked by a steel cable stretched across it.
Hunter Access
Hunting is allowed on the state forest property during legal hunting seasons. A valid hunting license is required. There are safety zones of 400 feet around our office, and all of the campgrounds. Restrictions also may apply to certain areas during timber harvests.
Please respect the rights of private landowners. Know where you are! Not all state forest boundaries are marked. Lines that are marked have orange paint on the state side of the trees. Boundary signs are posted at intervals on the private side.
Many of our fire trails are cleared annually to provide access to the property. These trails are usually located by parking areas and have steel cables across them with DNR padlocks. Please refrain from parking in front of these cables and blocking emergency access.
Indiana’s hunting and trapping dates are available at the Forest Office and the current Indiana Hunting & Trapping Guide.
