I walked into the forest vs I walked through the forest

Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. 'I walked into the forest' implies entering the forest from somewhere outside. 'I walked through the forest' suggests moving within the forest itself. The choice between the two depends on whether the focus is on entering the forest or on the act of walking within it.
