"As far as I can determine, The Knob is the 6th highest named highpoint in Indiana. Unfortunately, most of the property surrounding this highpoint is posted. The only access route that looked the least problematic was a service road to a communication tower located on the SE side of The Knob, but the sign on a gate to this road read, "No Trespassing" in small letters. My son, Marshall, and I did not feel comfortable parking in front of this gate, but we did talk to an Amish man nearby, who allowed us to park our car on his property while we hiked to the summit. I should say raced to the summit, because we did not want to stay in this area any longer than we had to. After reaching the communication tower we heard a lot of gun shots and encountered unoccupied deer stands.

Deer hunting season really is a bad and unjoyable time to attempt this one." — marshallstewart • Nov 9, 2014
