General Overview of Trail
Indiana is known as the "Crossroads of America" because of its central location. The American Discovery Trail offers a diverse, interesting, and challenging route for hikers, bikers, and other trail users as they cross Indiana on either the northern or the southern route of the ADT. The Northern Midwest Route of the ADT goes northwest from Richmond across the great Midwestern Corn Belt to the more industrialized region south of Gary. The Southern Midwest Route of the ADT follows along and just north of the Ohio River through the Southern Hills region, the only part of Indiana that the glaciers did not reach.
Although Indiana's weather ranges from cold, snowy winter days to hot and humid ones in the summer, its weather overall is considered temperate with few days being extreme. Expect showers in spring and cool, crisp, sunny days in the fall.
