Indiana Backpacking
Posted: Wed Jul 21, 2010 5:49 am
Hi all,
I'm located in central Illinois and wanted to do a 2 night 2 day backpacking getaway this weekend. Right now I'm planning for Hoosier National Forest, but I'm unsure which trails would offer the best scenery/have the least amount of traffic. Being able to camp backcountry and make fires is a big plus for me, which is why I was looking at the Charles C. Deam wilderness. The summitpost review of the area however is less than great, so if anyone has ideas for good trails in Hoosier, please chime in! I'm looking to do about 15 miles a day.
It doesn't have to be hoosier, anywhere within 3.5 hours from central Illinois would work too.
Thanks!
