This hiking and horseback riding trail is a cooperative trail that is provided on National Forest land and maintained by the Indiana Trail Riders Association. It ties in to trails in Brown County State Park (managed by the Department of Natural Resources).

The trail runs down Miller Ridge between trails on Brown County State Park and trails in the Nebo Ridge area. The entire length of the trail, to the junction where it ties in to other Brown County trails is 7.4 miles, only 2.1 of which are on National Forest land.
