Connector Trail is a short, easy hike in Indiana, about a mile long and rising roughly 75 feet from start to finish. It is a point-to-point route, and the nearest town is Limedale, about a mile away. The trail is rated easy, and the climb is gentle. The steepest stretch comes early, at about 0.05 miles in, with an 8% grade. The total elevation loss is about 160 feet, so the route is roughly balanced between a slight climb and a slight descent. Bikes are allowed, but horses are not. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Greencastle show May highs around 72°F and September highs around 77°F, with September also seeing the fewest wet days of the year. Several other trails sit close by. Quarry Trail and Woodland Trail are each about 0.2 miles away, Prindle Trail is about 0.4 miles away, and Creekside Trail is about half a mile away.
