Moore’s Creek State Forest sits in a beautiful high-elevation valley in Rockbridge County, just outside Lexington. The 2,353-acre tract features mountain vistas, scenic trails, and abundant wildlife, including black bear, wild turkey, and a host of migratory songbirds. It is managed primarily for watershed protection and recreation.
The forest contains the headwaters of Moore’s Creek, and Lexington Reservoir is in the center of the state forest. The reservoir and immediate lands surrounding it are the property of the City of Lexington. Moore’s Creek above the reservoir provides habitat for trout. A large rock formation overlooks the reservoir and state forest. The property is adjacent to the George Washington and Jefferson National Forest.
