Weed Patch Hill, Summit at Brown County State Park, Indiana
Weed Patch Hill rises 1,058 feet above sea level as part of the Knobstone Escarpment, ranking as the third highest named elevation point in Indiana.
A settler named this location after observing a substantial growth of weeds following a tornado that destroyed the trees in the surrounding forest area.
The fire tower constructed during the 1930s at the summit stands as a testament to Indiana's commitment to forest preservation and natural resource management.
Visitors can access the hill through Brown County State Park's trail system, with entry fees of $7 for non-residents and $5 for Indiana residents.
The hill's geographical position offers views of Jeptha Knob, located 146 kilometers southeast, making it a reference point for regional topographical studies.
