Indiana isn’t exactly well known for its bustling or overcrowded cities. However, Indiana is far from deserted.

But, if you’re looking to escape for a day or two, there is an option that can get you away from the crowds. Read on to learn more about this remote and stunning spot in Indiana…
Indiana is known for being extremely flat, but a trip down to Knobstone Trail in southern Indiana will convince you otherwise. This hilly, forested terrain offers campers, hikers, and backpackers a remote and beautiful place to explore.
Knobstone Trail is a 49 mile trail (the longest in the state) that cuts through over 40,000 acres of rugged terrain and forest. The trail starts at Dream Lake and ends in Delaney Park, though it can be hiked from either direction.
