"As far as I can determine, Round Knob is the 15th highest named highpoint in Indiana and not the 13th highest as claimed on this website, but despite not even being in Indiana's top 10, it is a great climb. My son, Marshall, and I reached the trailhead by driving .35 miles from the junction of Bartle Knob Road and Hill Top Road to a gravel road on the right. After following this gravel road for just .25 miles we reached a parking area with a sign reading, "Knobstone Trail/Jackson Road Trailhead." The road continues to the NE here, but a sign reads, "No Motorized Vehicles." We parked and followed this good road until we reached a lesser gravel road on the right after just .25 miles. Since the road appeared to head directly toward Round Knob, we took this route. This was a big mistake. We eventually endured a steep, cross country bushwhack through groves of thorn bushes and many fallen trees. My left hand was dripping with blood before I finally reached Round Knob's summit. Fortunately the summit was clear and there was a great view in all directions. It was here we discovered a trail that took us back to the road we hiked in on without having to experience any bushwhacking. This tra..." — Stewy • Nov 8, 2014

"This mountain is located in a nice public park. We started from the Knobstone Trail, Jackson Road Trailhead. There is a small grassy parking lot with signs and marked trails. There is a trail all the way to the summit; we did not know this until the hike back. From the parking lot at approximately .25 miles is a "T" in the trail, don't take this turn even though it turns straight for the summit. We made this mistake and it leads to the bottom of the valley at the base of the mountain, then you must bushwhack a class 3 climb to the summit. The fallen trees and thorns are very thick and difficult. So from the parking lot go approximately .33 miles to a small clearing on the right of the trail. On the other side of the small clearing you pick up a smaller trail that leads another .33 miles before you start to lose elevation into the valley at the base of the mountain. The trail leads all the way to the summit for beautiful views in multiple directions." — marshallstewart • Nov 8, 2014
