The vast forest can take roughly two weeks to cross by horse.[5] The forest's trees are large, with trunks as wide as city gates and leaves which give a golden hue when exposed to sunlight, making a golden canopy above travelers.[5] Pine-cones from the Forest of Qohor flow into Dagger Lake by way of the Qhoyne.[6]

Animals found within the wood include great elk, deer, spotted tigers, wolves, tree cats, monstrously huge boars, and spotted bears.[5] The wood also has a species of lemur called Little Valyrians because of their silver fur and purple eyes.[5][1]
