Indiana’s highest spot and the 44th highest US state summit, 1,257-foot Hoosier Hill is located in Indiana’s east-central quadrant, north of Richmond, and close to the Ohio border. With 305 feet of prominence, Hoosier Hill is the fourth most prominent peak in Indiana. This highpoint is a near drive up, and a very short walk will take you to the highest ground. This highpoint is wheelchair accessible to within a few feet of the Highpoint. This Highpoint is on private property; please leave the area in better condition than you found it.

To get to Hoosier Hill by car, take Exit 153 off Interstate 70 near Richmond, IN, just west of the Indiana/Ohio border. Go north on State Highway 227 for 11.3 miles, going through the towns of Middleboro and Whitewater, until you reach Bethel. Continue a little more north on SH 227 to a sign noting a change in county from Wayne to Randolph. Turn left on the road just past this sign that is marked “1100 S”, and is also called “Randolph Co. Line Rd.” Follow this road west for 1.0 mile to the first left turn, and turn left onto Elliot. Drive 0.3 mile past a farmhouse, then turn right on a lesser road, and drive to the south side of a grove of trees. The Highpoint is in this grove.

Look for a large pile of rocks on your right, and a faint trail leading into the trees. Follow this trail into the trees for a short ways, and the Highpoint will be just a few steps ahead of you in a small clearing. It has had various markers over the years. This is an intimate area.
