Are there any national parks in a temperate forest?
The Ozark Hills are covered in a national forest, Mark Twain, with lots of activities, a temperate forest surrounded by very clean lakes, rivers, and creeks for canoeing. Try Alley Springs Park on the Current River for a park w/great amenities. Also: http://www.nps.gov/buff. Being the first National River park in the US, this is great fun. However, being surrounded by a temperate forest, watch out for the snakes.
