Riding Maumee

By: HRA Crack Research Team

Maumee Horse Camp is a small, commercial, campground,
5 sites with electricity and primitive sites as well. Maumee
Horsemen's Campground is owned by Rod and Jean
Hilldebrand, this is not to be confused with the
Maumee Boy Scout Campground located in the Hoosier
National Forest off of Tower Ridge Road past the
tower. You can call Rod and Jean at: 812-995-8812 to
make reservations.

Directions to the campground:
Take SR 58 from 446 to Norman, turn left on 58 in
Norman to Kurtz (5 miles).

From Maumee you can ride the Nebo trail, exceptionally
beautiful trail to ride after the leaves have fallen
because you can see for miles.

The trail follows a long ridge and since you have to
cross Salt Creek to get to the trail from Maumee it is
best to do it when the creek is low in the fall.

This trail also takes you to Story, a nice little place
to eat, and on into the Brown Co. State Park where you
can ride to the Horsemen's campground.

You will need to have tags from both the state
and federal if you ride from the Hoosier National into
the State Parks or State Forests.

Nebo Ridge is in the Hoosier National Forest down past
Kurtz. There is a small campground called Maumee
Horsemen's Campground that you can stay at and ride
out to Nebo Ridge or onto the other Hickory Ridge
trails from there.

Directions to Nebo.

Directions to Trailhead: From Columbus: Travel west
on IN 46 for 13 miles to IN 135 south. Take SR 135
south, 9 miles to Story. Veer off SR 135 at the Story
Inn (this is Elkinsville Road, but it is unmarked).
Travel 2.7 miles and pass a gravel road on your right.
Take the left bend in the road and cross a bridge.
Go 0.3 miles then turn left into the parking area.
This newly constructed parking area was paid for with
trail access fees.

Parking is available at the north trailhead between
Elkinsville and Story. Do not camp at the trailhead,

Parking for trailers is extremely limited and may not
be available if others are using the parking lot.
