Trail Review: Low Gap Trail

Meet the Low Gap Trail. This 10.3 mile long loop can be found in the Morgan-Monroe State Forest, near Martinsville. It was built by the Hoosier Hikers Council in 1998–2002, and is a moderately challenging route and a popular trail for the region. The Low Gap Trail links into the bigger Tecumseh Trail system, and the smaller Rock Shelter Trail is a 3.5 mile subsection of this trail.

The Rock Shelter portion of the Low Gap Trail is a popular attraction among hikers. The rock formation looms above a limestone valley and is truly awe-inspiring to behold.
