Brown County State Park Trail #2 is a 2.3 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Nashville, Indiana that features a river and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and bird watching and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
Impressive stone bridges, stairways, and retaining walls. Starts and ends behind the lodge. Passes near lower shelter and north lookout tower.
Uneventful trail. Couple small hills. Good views but not challenging. Had to do the detour because of construction.
We started in the lower parking lot and took Trail 3 up to the lodge and then Trail 2 clockwise then connecting to North Tower trail loop and back. About 8 miles. So great to get out of the house. Normally wouldn't take NT because it is mostly mountain bikes but none yesterday wet, cold and NY Eve.
Great trail..recording includes the required detour on to trail 3..if starting from behind the lodge, take trail 3 down to the stables, then turn left to catch trail 2
I hiked This trail on August 15, 2020 and majority of it was closed due to downed trees hopefully they get it fixed soon. I’m sure it’s nice once they get it cleared out
nice, moderate trail. feels longer to me than it really is. trail 2 is closed at bottom by lower shelter. have to take 3 by stables back up. good trail but gave it 4 stars due to it being so close to horse trail(pretty stinky during the summer)
More narrow in places than expected. Well maintained and with a few blowdowns. The staircase is down but detour is clear.
This trail was really beautiful in the shade! It was great for being able to chat with friends. The river had a nice log that we were able to sit at and put our feet over. At one point trail two was closed and we had to transition to trail three. However, it was well marked and we knew where to go.
There is a detour due to some stairs that collapsed. To detour around from the lodge take trail 3. Go down the hill past the amphitheater and follow the trail to the parking lot for the horse track. At that point you will see metal signposts pointing to the left for trail 2 while trail 3 goes right.
