Greetings BPL community,

I recently relocated to Indianapolis area. Anyone else on here from Indy or other Midwest region? I’m looking for a new backpacking club or meet-up group.

I spent the last few years down in NW Louisiana, not exactly the best spot for backpacking. I mostly hiked in Arkansas during the cooler months as summer there is downright oppressive. Indy doesn’t seem like the greatest backpacking local either, but at least it’s closer to the eastern mountains. I’ve managed two trips to the AT in the few short months I’ve been here. I’m hoping to have some decent hiking opportunities as I learn the area. Still dreaming of moving out west some day.

I've not been active here lately so sorry for the late reply. I'm an hour west of you. I know there's a Louisville meetup group and an Indy one as well. For just hikes, there's a group in Bloomington that goes out each Sat and the Indy Hiking Club. There's also Central Indiana Wilderness Club. Disclosure: I've never done anything with any of these groups. ;) When I do go out, I'm either solo or with one or both of my boys (though I did do one western trip with a partner from BPL). There are a couple BPL members in the area, but I've only met one so far.

If you look in my profile you'll find my YT page with trip reports that show some of the few places worth going BPing in Indiana.
