My Tecumseh Trail Video - • Backpacking the Tecums...
Joined by my buddy Brent from the Hoosier Hikers/Backpackers group, we headed to the Charles C Deam Wilderness in the Hoosier National Forest in southern Indiana for a quick 2-day backpacking trip. This section of the Hoosier National Forest has many hiking trails and camping spots. We hike the Sycamore Trail, the Terrill Ridge Trail, the Axsom Trail, The Grubb Ridge Trail, the Peninsula Trail, & the Martin Hollow Trail. The Hoosier National Forest allows for dispersed camping or backcountry camping. It also has one of the most picturesque spots to camp in all of Indiana. We head out to that spot on the Peninsula Trail and set up our hammocks. We enjoyed a spectacular sunset and a roaring fire overlooking beautiful Lake Monroe. It was a truly epic evening. Join us as we hike over 20+ miles of trails on this quick overnight adventure.
The Charles C. Deam Wilderness offers 36 miles of trails for hiking, backpacking, and horse riding through scenic hardwood forest and varied terrain with views of nearby Monroe Lake. The area was designated a wilderness in 1982 and encompasses nearly 12,953 acres of the Hoosier National Forest. Wilderness designation places this area in a special legal status (subject to the 1964 Wilderness Act). It is managed to preserve a natural condition and provide opportunities for solitude.
Since its designation as a wilderness, visitor use in the area increased to a point that significant damage was occurring. Special restrictions are in place to protect the wilderness character. Visitors to this special place are asked to follow these restrictions to lessen your impact and share responsibility in preserving this unique natural resource.
We all need to keep physically & mentally strong in this pandemic and spending a little time in nature really does wonders for the soul, but if you can't make it out - Join us on our hike.
Stay safe everyone.
