Hazards=The Knobstone Trail is the longest hiking trail in Indiana. Its southern terminus is about Convert|10|mi|km|0 north of Louisville, Kentucky in the Deam Lake State Recreation Area. It currently ends at Delaney Creek Park near Salem, Indiana, however there are plans to eventually extend the trail another Convert|80|mi|km|0 north to Martinsville, Indiana. Most of the trails lies within Clark State Forest. As it lies along the Knobstone Escarpment, it is a difficult hike, which is why many use the Knobstone Trail to prepare for hiking the Appalachian Trail.

The trail was first established in 1980, and was only convert|32|mi|km long. It now covers convert|40000|acre|km2 of land, all of which is public forest.
