Salamonie River State Forest is a beautiful place to visit for a hike.

Here's a description of the Horse and Hiking Trails
BLUE TRAIL: (8 miles). This winding trail varies in topography as it wanders around several ravines and overlooks the Salamonie River in several locations. This trail also provides views of rocky gorges with waterfalls and follows the boundary closely.
RED TRAIL: (3.3 miles). A connecting trail which meanders through stands of hardwoods, conifers and open fields.
GREEN TRAIL: (1.8 miles) An alternate trail providing a shorter route back to the horse camp from the blue trail. Views of the pine stands and an oak plantation.
YELLOW TRAIL: (2 miles) Provides riders and hikers from outside the forest access to the trail system and ties into the reservoir trail system Also a scenic view of waterfall next to Hominy Ridge Picnic Area.

Both the forest and Salamonie River got their names from the Native American word “O-sah-mo-nee,” which means “yellow paint”. Native Americans made yellow paint from the bloodroot plant which grew in great abundance along the winding banks of the river.
