Taber State Forest covers over 1,200 acres (4.9 km2) in Kent County and is located 10 miles (16 km) southwest of Harrington, Delaware. Parker Road south off of State Route 14, and the Maryland state line generally form the western boundary. About 17 acres (69,000 m2) actually extends westward into the state of Maryland. Burrsville Road running southeast from Parker Road cuts through near the center of the land holdings. Saulsbury Creek Road generally forms a boundary for the southwest extent of the property.
Taber State Forest is a primitive use facility and there is no formal office onsite. It is primarily used for hunting, hiking, and wildlife habitat. In addition, the forest is also managed for timber production.
