Profiles of People Who Make Cook Forest a Great Travel Destination

One important aspect of Cook Forest State Park which we don't want to overlookis the unique character and personality of the area. The friendly, helpful, and memorable people who both visit and work in Cook Forest help give the Park that certain special character.

"Forest Friends" puts those people in the spotlight as they share their experiences and photos and tell us why the Forest is special to them...and learn some pretty neat things along the way.
