Hey guys, do any of you know some good hiking spots in southern IN where there are seem good hills to climb or even some rappelling places?

Just got back from the Red River Gorge in KY. Its not to far of a drive from southern IN. Would like to try some rappelling though.

How far south? Charles Deem Wilderness area (part of Hoosier National Forest) just south of Lake Monroe & Bloomington is a decent spot to do some hiking.

There are a lot more hiking options in the HNF down near the river from what I understand, althought I've never been there.

Many state parks also offer decent hiking.

A Indiana is a big place East, West or Central? If you are West like me Garden of the Gods in Ill is beautiful.

Indian/Celina Lakes, Deam Wilderness, Hickory Trail System, Mogan Ridge, Oriole, Birds Eye. All of these are National Forest trails.

Hemlock Cliffs is a nice place to Hike and Rappell!
