Tecumseh Trail In Indiana

“anybody ever hike this trail?...what's it like?...i've been in the area but never on the trail...i was thinking of doing a trip this spring to the knobstone but now i think i want to go here instead

Tecumseh Trail - 36 miles
This trail follows the proposed national Tecumseh Trail route that was to to span from Florida to Canada. The trail begins near the head of Panther Creek. The trail ends 36 miles later at the Morgan-Monroe Office. Trailheads are located near Crooked Creek Lake, the north boat ramp at Yellowwood Lake, at Prange Pond on Dubois Ridge Road, at Bear Lake and at the Morgan-Monroe office. Camping is allowed in the backcountry area along the Low Gap Trail, at the north end of Yellowwood Lake, and where the trail begins/ends at the Hoosier National Forest. Flooding may block several sections of trail during wet weather and potable water can only be found at property offices.

“Don't really know anything about it. Set it up, I will try to make it.”

“we did the section from Indian Hill Rd to M&M forest office last year ,its a nice trail ,no big ups there's a nice camp /shelter right before the Low Gap trail
there's also some road walking at the start of Indian Hill rd”

“Guys I would be interested in a spring date for this so keep me posted. I've been wanting to hike this.”

“i was orignally thinking knobstone cause there's a loop section up north that we wouldn't need a shuttle but if i can get someone else to go that has a good vehicle then we'd have a shuttle and could this trail”

“Speaking of the Knobstone...

I was looking through the most recent Outside magazine today. There was a Jeep flyer insert that was a 3-month calendar of events. On January 21 the entry is "Restore Knobstone Trail, Nashville, Indiana." The rest of the description was "What is a Hoosier? The answer is not clear. But the Hoosier Hikers Council's mission is: restore, maintain, and extend the Knobstone Trail. Indiana's longest footpath, it passes throught two state forests and is often compared to the Appalachian Trail. Give the HHC a hand today. www.housierhikerscouncil.org; 765-349-0204"


thought some of you might be interested”

“yeh ruby, the ultimate goal is to connect the knobstone with the Tecumseh to make one large north/south trail”

“I'd be interested in joining a trip, if that's what you're talking about. Set something up and I'll see if I can make it. Sounds interesting though. I'll have a vehicle with room for five and gear, if that helps at all.”

“Hey INtreker, welcome to the board! Where are you in Indiana? Nice to see new names from the home state.”
