We have previously looked at US National Parks for the 2045 total solar eclipse that are in totality, and have articles for other US public lands in totality. So let’s extend the concept to US National Forests for the 2045 total solar eclipse that are in totality!
There are 154 National Forests in the United States, which cover an area of 188,336,179 acres, or 294,275 square miles. These forests are managed by an agency of the US Department of Agriculture, called the US Forest Service.
There are a total of 25 national forests that have parts in totality. These 25 places see an average totality time of 168.566666667 seconds per national Forest. That is 2 minutes and 48.56667 seconds per National Forest.
