Indiana: Hoosier Hill

1,257 ft (383 m)

Hoosier Hill, at 1,257 feet (383 meters), is the highest point in Indiana—located in the middle of gently rolling farmland near the Ohio border. It may not look like much at first glance, but a short path from the roadside leads to a shaded spot in the trees with a picnic table, summit marker, and visitor logbook. The site is well-maintained thanks to local highpointers and makes for a peaceful, easy stop. There’s no hike, no climb, and barely any elevation to speak of—but that simplicity is exactly what makes it memorable. For those collecting state summits, Hoosier Hill is a quick and humble checkmark on the map. A reminder that highpoints come in all shapes and sizes.
