The hilltop, ridge top of the remains of the fort, and site of the cemetery is beautiful, as is the view looking down upon West Point, and the Ohio River. I stopped on Tuesday, I'd recommend a weekday. The only sounds are birds, and the traffic from 31W below.
Love the hell out of this place. Wish they'd built it up a more. Like adding more cabins. Another then that this place is a nice little getaway from reality. It almost feels like turning back time. I highly recommend checking out this place. But be Mindful there's a hell of a walk to the top of the Fort.
Really neat views, a bit of a challenging walk up the hills. Great example of the fort style, and a few plaques explaining some of the history. Quick walking tour well with the time.
I had so much fun mtb out on these trails with my man! Some trails were very technical. I am beginner/intermediate but I still enjoyed the ride! So many places to sit and take a break. A gas station was down the road which was nice because we didn’t pack enough water! Lol
Really nice piece of history with markers describing each area. There is a supply of maps and info at the parking lot area as well as a picnic shelter. A lot of open space at the top for a blanket picnic. Several small log cabins you can enter and a clean outhouse at the top. Site overlooks the Ohio River into Indiana. Warning: this path is wide and paved but extremely steep and strenuous, especially in the heat.
