The highest point in Indiana, at 1,257 feet above sea level, is located in Franklin Township in Wayne County. To visit the highest point, take a relaxing drive in the country, going north on State Road 227 to Bethel. Go west (left) on Bethel Road. Turn north (right) on Elliot Road.
Approximately 3/4 of a mile north of Bethel Road, you'll notice a country lane along the south side of a woods.
Along Elliot Road, the lane is marked with this sign that says "Highest Point".
Walk the lane to the crest of the hill. You'll see a path that leads into the woods.
Follow the path north. In the clearing you'll notice a pile of rocks. The rocks mark the highest point in Indiana.
Note that Indiana's highest point is located on private land. Please be respectful.
