This trail runs right by our house, we use it daily for walking our dog, and getting to/from Main Street.
This trail goes along the beautiful White Lick creek and goes under the haunted train bridge. A must if you are biking!
Ran this trail in January. The path is wide and welcoming. I have a feeling it is just breathtaking in the fall. Wish I lived closer so that I could run it more often. I felt safe. Highly recommend.
This trail was not a pleasant experience. I am not from Indiana, but was in town for the day and looking for a new trail to run. In the description it reads that the trail is concrete and asphalt. I looked through some of the pictures for this trail (hardly any that were actually of this trail) and noted that they were quite old, so I thought things may have been updated since then. I was very wrong. If anything, it has been downgraded. Granted, I did run the trail in the winter and there was snow melting, this trail was a big disappointment and basically just a mud pit with a little gravel mixed in. The ONLY part that is concrete is the section that is shared with the 2 other trails that intersect...that being Clear Creek and Limestone Greenway. After you get directly on Bloomington it is all gravel which, to me, wasn't even gravel...it was more like black cinder. There is also a portion of the trail that is through a yard and crosses the road o the rest of the trail. I am sure that this trail is most likely very pretty during the rest of the seasons as there is most likely a heavy tree canopy and the gorge itself was neat to see. The trail was flat. The tree canopy and the flatness was about the only thing going for this trail. I do have to say as an element of safety, being a woman and leaving honest reviews about feeling secure, I didn't feel safe on this trail even though it ran behind houses. There were tent's in the woods. There were homeless people walking the trail. There were bikes left in the middle of the trail...and it was January. I have ran over 50 trails in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Florida, and I was honestly scared on this trail. I would only recommend this if the sun was shining and you were with a group or carried protection of your own.
On a business trip I was able to ride two evenings. Beautiful early fall foliage along the way. Asphalt pavement is smooth and a short gravel run along the old railway. Beautiful crossing of Sugar creek on a wooden bridge structure is a sure place to stop and enjoy the view. Well maintained. Multiple sightings of deer, squirrels, and geese. I will definitely return and bring a road bike or mountain bike.
What a great trail. Mostly wooded. All hard surface. Extremely enjoyable!
I rode the shorter portion and found it very different from the west end. The maintenance was absent with bushes growing onto the trail. Trash was also on, and right next to trail. It was a bit disappointing to see the difference in how each section is cared for.
Rode the Big 4, parking at Thorntown, riding to Colfax and back. The ride was roughly 6 miles one way with limited elevation. The asphalt path is good, a little bumpy out of Thorntown but smooths out for a nice ride. The path was cluttered with vegetation following the storms the day before. This part of the path is well covered providing good shade and wind block. Be sure to notice the birdhouses tucked into the trees as you near Colfax. Enjoy.
I’m an EBiker, and LOVE the solitude! Smooth, paved trail with very short paths invaded by fairly low tree roots. I stopped for lunch at STOOKLEYS which I HIGHLY recommend! Yum! I started in Colfax, at the trail end, and went almost to Lebanon, then turned back, (out and back.) BEAUTIFUL DAY!!
2024 - we live 1 mile from the trail and can get to it pretty easy. The ride is great. All asphalt and in great shape. Several main roads have to be crossed but all have signal lights to help. Tilden is no longer the end of the trail. There is another ~ 3 miles of new asphalt west of Tilden. A new parking lot was added at 300/900. Enjoy. It’s or go to for weekly rides.
June 10, 2024 Starting @ Amo, Indiana is a nice trail head with water and clean bathrooms. Heading West in Hendricks County is a well maintained asphalt path. I do t remember any breaks or bad spots like other trails where tree roots have caused the asphalt to buckle. The ride west takes you out of Hendricks County and into Putnam County. The ride (about 4 miles) is tree lined and well protected. When you cross the county line the path switches to crushed rock, maybe limestone. Regardless, it is easy to navigate. I’ve ridden a lot of trails outside of Chicago and am used to this type of path. In 3.5 miles is Filmore and turned to head back. Great ride. Highly recommended.
