Need a good hiking loop

[Sailor]

Want to go for a 3 night 2.5 day hike with my bro this spring. 10 miles and under per day. Can anyone recommend a trail?

Berkley West Virgina comes to mind. Been out there a few times white water rafting
and riding bicycles. Pretty awsome trails along the Rivers. Most of the trails that we were on were old railroad trails owned by the Dept. of Natural Resources meaning they are maintained. If you were to go that direction, check out the White Water Rafting as well.

Would like to stay in or near Indiana.

Thanks though.

Best idea in Indiana is probably some where along the Knobstone trail. It is somewhat Appalachian Trail-esque.

check out some of the trails in the Hoosier National fortest... Germain ridge trail head comes to mind, but I'm sure there are more.

the dunes comes to mind.
Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore & State Park Hiking - Hikes
Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore - Hiking at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore (U.S. National Park Service)

Knobstone is probably the best trails for what you are wanting to do, at least that I can think of at the moment.

I hiked the hell out of Knobstone when I was training for a Rockies expedition, and if I recall correctly some of the Knobstone trails are actually pretty challenging, but I haven't been out there in a bunch of years, however I think I am going to make it a priority to take my daughter out there and do some hiking this spring.

If you're looking for a loop trail check out Harrison-Crawford Forestry. Thay have at least one overnight trail that is 42 miles (AHT-Adventure Hiking Trail) with half-face shelters along the trail to sleep in. I haven't hiked an overnight there but we camp in the electric campground a lot. They also have several short hiking trails. It's about 7 miles west of Corydon along the Ohio River.

Here is a link to Obannon State Park. The state park is surrounded by the Harrison-Crawford Forestry.
DNR: O'Bannon Woods

Here is a list of the long distance trails

Harrison Crawford is also very pretty country. Give it a shot.
