About this listen

Head to Southern Indiana to visit Deam Lake! You'll enjoy time on the water and discover it's the gateway to more trail systems than you'd expect! Horse riders and hikers can camp at Deam Lake and access Clark State Forest, for more miles of exploring. The Knobstone Trail's southern terminus is at Deam Lake, and the Monon South has a trailhead here too.


You'll also learn that Deam Lake is named for Charles C. Deam, Indiana's first forester. Deam was a man of intense focus and conviction, an early conservationist who spent his life discovering plants in the state and beyond.


The Deam Lake Loop Trail Run is October 3, 2026, and you can sign up for the race here.


If you want to bring your horse to ride at Deam Lake, Indiana Trail Riders Association is a valuable resource.


Get maps, tips, segment ideas, pictures, history, and more on the Knobstone Hiking Trail Association website.
