Cumberland State Forest is Virginia’s second largest at 16,154 acres. Most of the forest is in Cumberland County, with a small portion in Buckingham County. It has a diversity of pine and hardwood forest types, with land ranging from flat bottomlands to moderate slopes. The forest is managed for multiple uses: timber, wildlife, recreation, water quality, biodiversity, research, and demonstration.
Approximately 121 miles of waterways flow through or adjacent to the forest, including more than 15 miles of the Willis River, 26 miles of perennial streams, 47 miles of intermittent streams, and 32 miles of ephemeral streams. The property contains four small lakes; Bonbrook, Arrowhead, Winston, and Oak Hill. Cumberland State Forest contains several vernal pools. Most of these seasonally-flooded wetlands are less than ¼ acre in size. They are typically largest during wet, winter months and completely dry during the summer.
