Hell's Point is the third-highest point in Steuben County. It was formed by receding glaciers in the last ice age. They carried a lot of debris with them and when they started to melt, some of that debris washed out of the glaciers, carried along by the meltwater. Some of this debris-laden water cascaded off the ice sheet into crevasses or over ice ridges and formed kames, or sharp crested hills, such as Hell's Point.
The entire trail from the parking lot behind the Potawatomi Inn around to Hell's Point and back is approximately 2.2 miles round-trip. Enjoy your walk through the Potawatami Nature Preserve, and the variety of habitats - the trail winds through marsh lands, hardwood forests, pines and sand hills, and offers a lovely panoramic view from Hell's Point.
