I love this trail. It’s maintained very well, and I feel generally safe as a woman going through the wooded areas alone
If you plan on using your ebike on the short trail off of Potters Bridge we were advised by the locals that they are no longer permitted do to others abusing the trail. We were told the trail is being watched closely by authorities. We wanted to see the the bridge and ride to the Nickel Plate Trail.
Covered bridge Gateway Trail in Rosedale, Indiana keep you updated
loved riding this trail (except for the crowds on the trail for Carmel Days). My only complaint was the poorly placed trail marker where the trail made a hard right turn north of Carmel near Rt 32. The bathroom facility at 96th Street was outstanding.
Colfax to Sugar Creek nice and smooth, from Suram Plant rd to Lebanon nice and smooth! The section maintained by Thorntown has trees over growing the trail and many many bumps . The trail needs a repaving. Thorntown section runs from Sugar Creek to Suram plant rd. I called the Thorntown,s clerks office (only open Tuesday) and reported the problem. They said trees removal will be next week Issue back by September
We parked at the 69th Street Trailhead. We went north & it was a shady and a scenic ride. Carmel had restaurants next to the trail. Lots of walkers, cycles, & dogs. Very nice trail.
The final section of this trail along the wabash river on the west side was officially completed first week of August…the trail is now a complete “circle” and just under 7 miles in length.
My husband and I rode this trail on 8-22-25. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and thought the trail was relatively well maintained. Some have complained about branches and rough surfaces but we did not find it bad at all. We are used to riding country roads in much worse conditions. We rode to Colfax and stopped to enjoy a meal at Pizza King. I highly recommend this stop! It had a small town friendliness and great service. We enjoyed a sub sandwich, salad, breadsticks, and milkshake. The breadsticks were outstanding as well as the handcrafted shakes- so many flavors from which to choose. We split the buckeye shake and it was delicious!
On my way from PA to WI I decided to stop in Indianapolis, IN. I decided to ride the Monon Trail to the Cultural Trail in downtown, to the Canal Walk and reverse. I absolutely loved the ride, enjoyed riding through the city, and really liked all the murals and art as I was riding. As I was riding south and getting closer to downtown Indianapolis, there were a lot of road crossings, however I will say this was one of the most courteous places to bike, almost every car stopped to let bikers cross. If I ever come back to Indianapolis I would definitely ride this trail again. It is in one of my top 5 trails. Definitely worth doing if you are in Indianapolis.
Noisy traffic but nice views from the boardwalk. Extend your walking buy going south through Fairbanks park on the east side of the Wabash bridge.
