Martha Sundquist State Forest is a Tennessee state forest located in Cocke County near Hartford. The forest was named in honor of former Tennessee governor Don Sundquist's wife, Martha.[1] The forest consists primarily of mature mountain and cove hardwood stands, and is surrounded on three sides by the federally-managed Cherokee National Forest.[1]
The forest was created in 2001 when the state purchased 2,001 acres (810 ha) from the International Paper Company (formerly Champion International).
The forest features a hiking trail called "Tennessee Gulf Trail".[2]
Tree types found in the forest include eastern hemlock,[3] magnolia, maple, birch, and white pine.[2]
