Hitz-Rhodehomel Nature Preserve
Mary McConnell Nature Trail
The Mary Mcconnell Nature Trail in the Hitz-Rhodehamel Nature Preserve is nestled in the hills of Brown County and is just outside of Nashville. The Nature Conservancy maintains this 3-mile trail, and trail stewards work hard to pull invasive plant species to show off the native flora. We love this trail for its varying terrain and the informational plaques posted along the way, which inform visitors about prescribed burns, wildlife, and trees.

Trevlac Bluffs Nature Preserve
The Yellowwood Trail & Bottomland Trail
Trevlac Bluffs Nature Preserve boasts two trails that take hikers across tall bluffs and low bottomlands. The Yellowwood Trail snakes through the woods and across a 200 ft tall bluff that overlooks Beanblossom Creek. It also includes a stand of eastern hemlock trees that are rare to find in Indiana. The Bottomland Trail leads hikers on a .7-mile loop and meets up with Beanblossom Creek. The Tecumseh Trail can also be accessed from the Bottomland Trail parking lot. The Sycamore Land Trust tirelessly works to control invasive plants and maintain the health of the forest. If you’re looking for an adventure off the beaten path, these trails are for you.

Jackson Creek Trail
Yellowwood State Forest
Yellowwood State Forest in Nashville, Indiana is often called a "hidden gem," and we couldn't agree more. The 1.3-mile Jackson Creek Trail offers a perfect introduction to the beauty of this stunning forest. As you hike, you'll be treated to wildflowers, serene lake views, and the soothing sounds of Jackson Creek. The trailhead shares a parking lot with a boat launch on Yellowwood Lake, making it easy to enjoy a refreshing paddle after your hike. This trail also links up with the Lake Trail, another popular trail in the state forest. The Jackson Creek Trail can be accessed from the north boat ramp parking lot at the north end of Yellowwood Lake. If you're interested in hiking trails like this one with us, check out our upcoming Scenic Sunday hikes!
