Weed Patch Hill, also known as Weed Patch Knob (1058disp=or0disp=or), is the third highest named summit in the U.S. state of Indiana.[3] Located in Washington Township and Brown County State Park, it is the highest point in the Knobstone Escarpment.
In Indiana, only Hoosier Hill (1257disp=or0disp=or) in Wayne County and Sand Hill (1076disp=or0disp=or) in Noble County are higher.
Weed Patch Hill was so named by an early settler after a tornado had flattened a stand of trees and weeds grew in its place.[4]
