Bourassa State Forest is a 288-acre state forest in Bedford County, Virginia, north of Smith Mountain Lake. Managed by the Virginia Department of Forestry, it supports timber production, serves as an outdoor laboratory, and provides wildlife habitat. By adjoining the Smith Mountain Cooperative Wildlife Management Area, it contributes to a larger protected landscape in the region. The forest is open to the public for hiking and horseback riding, though hunting, camping, and motorized vehicles are not allowed. Some uses may require a valid State Forest Use Permit.
