Lots of homeless people living right off the trail. The trail is not well maintained and smells really bad out there.
Road this today from trailhead in Colfax to Lebanon and most of the trail is enjoyable, but there’s parts where they really need to trim some of the branches and MOW along the sides of the trail!
This trail was a very enjoyable ride. It was flat, pretty much straight and had many little spurs to get off to different parts of the area. I connects to the 3 mile long Buck Creek Trail and a very close connection to the Pleasant Run Trail (8 miles approx) so you can get a good amount of miles in with these trail connectors. They have a solar System Kiosk system with information about the Sun and the 8 closest planets (Mercury to Neptune). The trail itself looks new, especially in certain parts of it. It is well maintained and has good signage, although these have some gang signs on them. Some parts have absolutely no wind protection and other parts have solid trees on both sides of the trail. There is a little music area that you can play musical instruments and benches are plentiful.
Wow! This could be the worst trail I have ridden in years or ever. The trail rides from Ellenberger Park to Garfield Park. It was filthy with dirt on the trails, signage, while mostly helpful, was faded and/or had gang signs on them. I was ducking overhanging branches and pot holes/bumps for much of it along with riding through homeless tent city. There were a couple of intersections where it would've helped to have signage but as a first time rider, I was able to stick to the trail the whole time. This trail, in all honesty, has a lot of potential but it feels very neglected to say the least. Come on Indy, lets do better with this. It was so poor that I instead used roads instead of the trail to get back to my car.
This trail was top notch. It is a connection from Hornet Park to Bolton Park. Winding around a creek for much of the way, very new looking, clean with good signage. Parking on both ends of the trail. Probably best for running or walking due to the short distance but I must experience for trail lovers. It does not connect or have any near connections to any other trails.
This is one of the best trails in the central Indiana region but is in need of significant maintenance where pavement is buckling. For at least 2 miles from the trailhead in Lebanon toward Thorntown, the bumps are severe. Also, either side of Thorntown for about a mile each direction is just as bad. At the very least, the areas should be highlighted with paint. It has been this way for a couple of years now...does Boone County not care about the upkeep of this trail?
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!
We rode 17 miles total, and stopped for a picnic at the nature park. Trail is in great condition and is very scenic. We witnessed the expansion going eastwards as the crew was laying asphalt. What a wonderful asset to the community.
Ok section, kind of dull. Agriculture & cows. Found a bit of shade by a grain elevator for lunch. Several washouts filled with tumbleweeds as you get closer to Lind.
The trail was in great shape, especially for early Spring . The only issue was some gravel wash out from the tracks near Metamora; wider tires are helpful. Lots to look at on the canal. Pleased to see restrooms which are always welcome. Lots of food available when open.
