Since 1995 the Hoosier Hikers Council has been building, repairing, and maintaining hiking trails in the state of Indiana. We provide maps and information for hikers and backpackers to assist in the use and enjoyment of Indiana trails.

The work of our organization is sustained by supporters and volunteers who are motivated by the opportunity to give back to the trails they love to hike.

Browse our site to learn more about the trails we support! If you are interested in contributing, we would be happy to have you join us as a volunteer, member, or supporter!
