Perfect for Nature Lovers
Washington County is the ideal place to experience the Knobstone Escarpment, which is a rugged geologic region, that created the most rugged and interesting terrain in Indiana. The escarpment's most prominent features are the steep hills, often referred to as "knobs", and deep ravines. Washington County covers a large geographic territory (7th Largest in Indiana) and a relatively small population of just over 28,000 residents, so hiking and enjoying nature can be a perfect break from busy life.
