Description
The Knobstone Trail (KT) is Indiana's longest footpath. It is stated to be a 60-mile hiking trail but most of the maps for thru-hikes that I have seen list it closer to 45 miles. It goes through several state forests and state parks. The trail starts at Deam Lake State Recreation Area. You can find more information about the trail on the Indiana DNR website.
