There was a lot of discussion about whether or not Pete's Cave is in HNF at the EMG meeting tonight. Landowner maintains that maps are incorrect and it is his property. Surveys have been unable to prove him wrong, the rock shelter and sandstone cave seem to be private property.
I got the Hoosier's Hidden Hikes guidebook last year, I've really enjoyed the hikes in that book! HNF doesn't have a well developed trail system like the SNF does, all of the hikes in that book are bushwacks with some forest road.
I went hiking while I waited for a mammoth cave tour, and I wanted to hike more, but I didn't. Two years later I went to Colorado and decided I'd like to climb Longs Peak. I did hike more after that, as much as I could. I went to the Shawnee and Hoosier National Forests in the year after that...
The owner doesn't live there, didn't say people could hike there but he didn't say they couldn't either. I don't think he cares but he's not giving permission. I've been wanting to see the Fist of God, you hike in from Lake Glendale?
You can get to 100' from it on a trail in HNF. The trail keeps going onto private property, the bluff is probably 100' feet from the boundary. Alltrails says it's in HNF, but I've meet the owner and he says it's not.
