The RJD Memorial Hardwood Forest offers many possibilities in its boundaries, with recreation areas, campgrounds, and day-use areas. The State Forest has a variety of species of plants, mushrooms, and animals (especially birds), that you can observe along the trails. The preserved area offers some riverside trails, such as the Root River State Trail, which is also a bike path and has access to some peaceful spots along it.
