Other Privately Owned Highpoints
Sunday, March 28th, 2004Indiana - Be careful about the kids and farm equipment.
Iowa - The Sterlers are the ultimate great highpoint friends. The highpoint is by their cattle trough. Don’t visit late.
Kansas - The owners have created a nice park. Be respectful!
Louisiana - You’re crossing private property as you walk past the church into the woods
Michigan - The highpoint is owned by Meade Paper. They have spent thousands of dollars to grade the road and want you to park by a pond about a half mile from the summit.
Mississippi - The highpoint is privately owned and there’s a cluster of antenna on the summit.
Nebraska - This privately owned highpoint is requesting $5 donations. They also do not wish you to hike across its fields to the Colorado-Wyoming-Nebraska Tri-State marker. Respect the buffalo!
