Description
Very rugged hike across the Knobstone limestone escarpment in southern Indiana. This trail passes through several state forest properties, including Clark-Jackson. Don't be put off by its location (southern Indiana), it is surprisingly rugged with some very rewarding terrain (lots of hills!). The area is notoriously dry, so either carry lots of wather or cache it (there are several trailheads with county road access along the way).
