The Pennsy Trail in Greenfield, IN is a mostly linear trail as would be expected with a rail-trail. The in-town portion of the trail passes by light manufacturing and warhousing areas as well as a few neighborhoods. There are not too many cross streets to deal with and there is a safety gate at the busiest intersection at State Road 9.

The east and west sections outside of the downtown area are fairly similar with trees on both sides of the trail, but no real canopy over the trail. The western leg does curve north around a large business compound and skirts near US 40 for a short while and then jogs back south to bick up the old rail line again. This is a welcomed diversion from the otherwise straight trail. The rural areas offer some views of farm fields and open fields, but in many places the views are blocked by the trees on both sides in the summer months. However, the trees do block some businesses that front US 40, so the lack of view on this side of the trail is a good thing. The eastern leg passes by a mature stand of trees on the south side, which did offer afternoon shade on the trail in late summer. This section also passes over Brandywine Creek.

There are parking lots at each trailhead and a fairly spacious one at the trailend on CR 150 W. The trailhead at CR 400 E also has a port-o-let.

All in all, this is a very nice trail that is well marked and maintained. The 5.3 mile distance makes it a nice biking option since it is over 10 miles roundtrip. The trail is not particularly scenic, which is why I rated it a 3 instead of a 4. However, don't let this discourage you from using the trail. It is a very nice trail and I would recommend it.

This trail is close to home just a 15 mile bike ride.. It is really a nice trail, paved all the way. A new addition was added to make it about 3 miles longer.
