Have ‘Two Days’ to get away to ‘Two Lakes’? If so, Hoosier National Forest may be the weekend getaway for you.

At 15.7 miles, this trail is designated a National Recreation Trail. Hiking is its most popular use with special features including shaded trails, scenic hardwood forest, beautiful views of Indian and Celina Lakes.

The main trail is marked in white, with spur trails marked in orange to offer short, day hikes. Much of this trail is on steep slopes and could take 4-5 hours to hike half the distance. Along the trail’s routes, wildlife openings are maintained where deer, turkey, quail, and songbirds are commonly seen. One of the Hoosier’s Watchable Wildlife areas are along this trail.
