Hoosier Knob and Infantry Ridge Trails lead from Camp Wildcat and offer glimpses of still-remaining trenches and other history in situ.

Wildcat Trail leads to Hoosier Knob Trail, and along both you'll find dramatic seasonal foliage, ample historical plaques that describe the battle and its historical context—even how the area's geology affected the battle's strategy and tactics. The highpoint of the trail affords a short loop to break up the pure out-and-back hike.
