Old Forest State Natural Area
Memphis, Tennessee, United States
Old Forest State Natural Area in Memphis, Tennessee, is a 125-acre remnant of old-growth forest located within Overton Park.
It is one of the last urban old-growth forests in the Southeastern United States, offering a rare glimpse of a mature hardwood ecosystem that once covered the Chickasaw Bluffs. The area features a network of paved and unpaved trails, including the accessible Limestone Loop, allowing visitors to enjoy walking, birdwatching, and nature study.
The forest is known for its dense canopy providing shade, an abundance of pawpaw trees in the undergrowth, and a peaceful, natural atmosphere amid the urban environment. The site is open to the public daily with free admission and is maintained through community conservation efforts, serving as both a valuable habitat and a place for outdoor recreation and environmental education.
