The Appomattox-Buckingham State Forest (ABSF) is Virginia’s largest state forest, covering 19,513 acres in Appomattox and Buckingham counties. It is managed for sustainable timber production, demonstration of scientific forest management, applied forest research, diverse wildlife habitat, watershed protection, biological diversity, and passive outdoor recreation.

Slate River Reservoir and Holliday Lake are located within the forest, along with Holliday Creek and numerous other streams. Rock formations along Holliday Creek and the Appomattox River resemble mountain streams found farther west in Virginia.

Several multi-use trails provide recreational opportunities in the forest. See the map link for more information.
