Indiana was once covered by the Laurentide Ice Sheet. This ice spread from the arctic all the way down as far as Tennessee. When the ice melted, it left behind massive boulders that it had dragged across the landscapes, some coming from as far away as Canada. You can find these glacial boulders scattered all throughout Hoosier National Forest, but there are some great examples on the German Ridge Trail.

Indian Lake can be found on the far side of the Two Lakes Trail. The area is a great spot to stop for a picnic as your halfway point around the trail, or as an overnight stop as there are plenty of camping sites.

I did a solo tour of the Wabash and Ohio rivers in Indiana in 2023. My plan was to follow the rivers along the Indiana state line. I found out right away that the roads along the river were often not suitable for loaded gravel biking. In many places the roads shown on my paper maps and on Komoot were not continuous, as shown, which led to detours. I ended up riding mostly on state roads, which provided better pavement, were more reliable, and usually were low traffic and/or had some kind of shoulder, but not always. I ended up riding a 700 mile loop from Indianapolis to the Wabash, south to the Ohio, east to Ohio, and back to Indianapolis.
