The Sinking Spring section
offers some beautiful scenery and hiking as it's northern half
passes through Pike
State Forest. Almost 24 miles of the trail passes through the
forest or adjoining Pike
State Park, utilizing forest roads, abandon dirt roads and
plain old trail. Plenty of facilities are available in the park.
After crossing SR 41, the trail enters the Fort Hill
historical area, site of a Hopewell Indian ceremonial mound
built 2000 years ago. A side trail leads to the mound atop
the hill. Nearby is Butler Springs Christian Center, site of
several BTA Annual Meetings, including 1999. The Buckeye Trail
continues through Fort Hill on trails before finally going on
roads. After passing through Sinking Spring, the trail goes by
another Indian mound at Serpent Mound.
South of SR 32 are several miles of trail, over Tolle Hill,
through Davis
Memorial and near Mineral Springs Lake.
