Black Forest State Park was not established in 1930’s ~ it is the State Park that never was.

The men and boys of CCC camp S-135 Dyer Farm were working on building the Black Forest State Park at this location and had several recreational areas and rental cabins built by 1936, then at some point the park idea was scrapped. The cabins became leased camps. The athletic fields were planted into forests, some of which have been recently harvested.
