The day begins at the Pioneer Cabin in O'Bannon Woods State Park
The stage concludes at the Capitol State Historic Site in Corydon.
After some longer stages of late, it's a relief to have one more accommodating to the walkers, joggers, and rollers out there! The first 11.3 miles are offroad, mostly following the wonderful Adventure Hiking Trail along a high bluff overlooking the river. This means as well, of course, some ups and downs, including a pair of ~400-foot ascents. Eventually, the trail delivers travelers onto the Old Forest Road, which is a quiet and paved road leading through most of the remainder of the stage. A final push along the Ohio River Scenic Byway leads into the center of Indiana's first capital.
