Brown County State Park in Nashville, IN has some trails I hear are excellent. Some good hills in there too. You might also check Shades Park in Madison, IN. I don't know that there are some there, but there's a good chance. I do know they are to building some in O'Bannon Woods in Crawford County, IN (near Corydon). I don't know their progress though.
Not Southern Indiana, but just a little north of Indianapolis, there's a great trail at 96th and Hazel Dell Road, in Carmel, IN. It's about 7 miles long and in the woods. It's worth going on if you're ever in the area :)
