Directions to Indian Head Trail, Fayette County
submitted by Richard Nugent
The Indian Head Trail is a rails to trails trail, which follows Indian Creek. The southern end is just off Route 381 in the town of Indian Head. From Indian Head the trail follows the creek north (upstream) for about 5 miles. For the most part the trail goes through woods and the creek can be seen at many points. You can expect to see and hear birds common to woodland areas as well as a rural stream. The trail is also a good place to see many wildflowers.

Turn right onto Route 381 and drive about 6.2 miles to Indian Head. Turn left on State Route 1054 and drive a short distance. Turn left through a parking lot to reach the trail parking lot (not far).
