Hoosier Hikers Council 2016 Bicentennial Challenge Updated: Feb. 2, 2020 To celebrate Indiana’s 200th year as a state, the Hoosier Hikers Council had a challenge to hike 200 miles on natural surface hiking trails throughout Indiana. The list of trails below was assembled to assist in that endeavor, and includes mostly natural surface trails at least one mile in length. It is by no means a complete list of such trails in Indiana, but it is intended to provide hikers a good start! Be sure to click on the associated links to the right of each trail for more information. Note that the trails are arranged by geographic region so that you can more easily locate trails within a given area. The list also has a column for the county in which a trail is A very helpful trail finder has been located. Following the list is a map of Indiana showing each of the regions and their prepared by IDNR: DNR Trail Inventory counties. If you know of a good natural surface hiking trail over one mile in length that you For those interested in Indiana geology, you might enjoy the second map at the end.

The trail going down the hill not far from the road has always been a problem. It's not a great design but we have no choice. Several years ago when the store ORATE SPONSOR changed ownership the previous owner did not want riders to ride the ITRA BRONZE NUGGET trail on his property anymore. Yvette worked hard to lease a right-a- CORPORATE SPONSOR way from another property owner. That's why the trail is where it is today. This year though, we made great progress. A volunteer brought his skid loader. With the additional help of driving and following excellent orders, they were able to remove all the mud which was every bit of a foot deep creating horrible footing for the horses. Once the mud was gone, fabric was put down. Then the ITRA TRAIL LEAD remaining rock that we had been using all the previous years was put CORPORATE SPONSOR down over the fabric although a lot more rock is needed. If anyone wants to donate a load we'll take it.

The plan accomplishes this task by: a. focusing interpretive efforts on a site-specifi c theme b. identifying needs for guided and self-guided interpretation, and c. recommending actions to fi ll those needs. The process of developing interpretive recommendations considers three components: a. Resource. What are the natural and cultural resources of the site.? b. Visitor. Who are the current users? What are the untapped audiences? c. Agency. What is the mission of the agency? What are the management goals within the agency? Other regional interpretive experiences and partnerships are incorporated to stretch staff and fi nances, foster cooperation and prevent competition. Several factors make the plan important for Indiana Dunes State Park: • In 2016, Indiana State Parks will be celebrating its 100th birthday. • The Indiana Dunes Nature Center opened int 1990. Most of the exhibits have been unchanged and are showing their age. • Indiana Dunes is unique from other parks. Recommendations need to refl ect: 1. Most of the park’s visitors are day use only.

    THE INDIANA STATE TRAILS · GREENWAYS & BIKEWAYS PLAN STATE OF INDIANA Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Governor State House, Second Floor Indianapolis, Indiana 46204 Dear Trail Enthusiasts: With great excitement, I welcome you to travel the path down our state’s latest comprehensive trails plan. Not since our state park system was created has the state undertaken an outdoor initiative of this potential scope. This initiative will soon begin uniting our state’s disconnected routes and place every Hoosier within 15 minutes of a trail. The whole will be much greater than the sum of its parts and will benefit Hoosiers from all walks of life. We doubled state funding from $10 million to $20 million annually to take advan- tage of this unique network of opportunities, and at first glance this is a recreation initiative, but we intend it to be much more. Our trails plan will encourage healthy habits in Hoosiers, boost tourism and enhance Indiana’s ability to attract new investment and jobs. Our trail investments can deliver. As Hoosiers enjoy our new trails, they will be hiking, walking, and rid- ing over miles of new high-speed telecommunications and utility conduits. Access to outdoor recreation also ranks among the features potential companies seek for their employees when locating a business. Real success will require the help of local communities, businesses, and private philanthropies. Let’s join together as we create something that will be the envy of the nation! Sincerely, Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. HOOSIERS ON THE MOVE THE

    Indiana Forest Health Highlights the Resources the Current and Future Forest Health Problems for Indiana Forests Involve Native and Exotic Insects and Diseases

    2005 Indiana Forest Health Highlights The Resources The current and future forest health problems for Indiana forests involve native and exotic insects and diseases. The current forest health problem is tree mortality from the looper epidemic, forest tent caterpillar epidemic, pine bark beetles, oak wilt, Dutch Elm Disease, Ash Yellows and weather. Other impacts from these forest health problems are change in species diversity, altered wildlife habitat, growth loss and reduced timber value. What We Found Yellow-poplar is the most common species across Indiana today in terms of total live volume (fig. 1.7). Numerous other species, including ecologically and economically important hardwood species such as sugar maple, white oak, black oak, white ash, and northern red oak, contribute substantially to Indiana’s forest volume. In terms of total number of trees, sugar maple dominates, with more than twice as many trees as the next most abundant species (American elm) (fig. 1.8). Other common species include sassafras, flowering dog-wood, red maple, and black cherry. Overall, 80 individual tree species were recorded during the forest inventory. Although yellow-poplar and white oak is number one and three, respectively, in terms of total live volume across Indiana, they rank far lower in number of trees, indicating their large individual tree size compared with other species. The growing-stock volume of selected species has increased substantially since 1986, more than 100 per-cent in the case of yellow-poplar (fig. 1.9). However, black and white oak had volume increases of less than 20 percent during that period. Indiana`s forests 1999-2003 – Part A and Part B The future forest health problem is tree mortality and the other associated impacts from tree death from exotic species and the insects and diseases listed above, as they will continue to cause damage in the near future and then return again some time in the future.
