Outdoors: Delaney Park

Image Click to Enlarge Introduction Delaney Park is probably best known as the (present) northern terminus of the Knobstone Trail, a 45-mile trace that is Indiana’s longest footpath. Most visitors stick to the lake area; hikers will enjoy relative solitude. Trails The last two or three miles of the Knobstone Trail coincide with part of a figure eight trail system that loops through portions of the adjacent Jackson-Washington State Forest. Facilities Food (seasonal), bathroom, cabins, camping. Directions View Larger Map Washington County. From the intersection of IN 56 and IN 135 in Salem, north 3.7 miles to Delaney Park Road.
