Hiking
Stretching 58 miles from Deam Lake State Recreation Area to Delaney Creek Park, the Knobstone Trail is Indiana’s longest and most rugged footpath. It follows the spine of the Knobstone Escarpment, carving a route along high ridges with sweeping views of the wooded hills below.
The section between Deam Lake and Round Knob sets the tone early—quiet, hilly, and deeply immersive, with a few scenic overlooks tucked between long, steady climbs.
