The Bohol Forest is a man-made mahogany forest stretching in a two-kilometer

stretch of densely planted Mahogany trees located in the border of Loboc and
Bilar towns. Before and after this man-made forest are the naturally grown
forests of Loboc and Bilar which are thick with a kaleidoscope of green foliage,
different species of trees and giant ferns lining the road. This mountain area
seldom sees the sun shine and most often than not, it rains here. Local folks
attribute these to the presence of the dense forest. The Loboc-Bilar man-made
forest plays host to many visitors, locals and foreigners alike who take time to
view it from the road and take pictures. The Metro Manila filmmakers often use
the forest as a backdrop for some of their action films. Other groups go hiking
thru the woods and up the mountain. Mountain bikers often use the wide asphalt
road that traverse the forest aside from the day-to-day buses and public transport
that ply between the towns.
