Summary: This hike is basically 2 hikes in 1. There is a 0.5 mile paved loop trail that leads through a nearly flat wooded area. This portion of the trail is suitable for nearly everyone. At the far end of the loop trail are restrooms, and a spur trail that leads to the top of the hill.

The trail to the top, can be difficult to find at times. There are additional spur trails to the right, which lead to steep cliffs overlooking a mixture of woods and farmland. Continuing to the top of the hill, you will eventually level off to a flat top. There is a series of 10 foot mounds, that can be tricky to negotiate, but are fun to investigate. Hiking along the top leads to an overlook of the city of Corydon.

Retrace your steps back to the paved trail and complete the loop hike to the parking area.

Trailhead: The trailhead is located in the Hayswood Nature Reserve, located just south of Corydon, IN. on SR 135. (Lat:38.20768 Lon:-86.14557)
