The northwest corner of the trail shown on this map now extends along Indiana Avenue and along 10th Street, and also there’s a new stretch along South Street.
The west end of the trail now continues along Fall Creek to Burdsal Parkway and then to the White River trail, and it also intersects with the new extension of the Canal Towpath.
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.
I hit the Indianapolis Cultural Trail around dusk, dog tired after a long drive from North Carolina. What a delight! The trail is broad, flat and easy to follow thanks to the colored pavers. The sections flanking the canal were stunning at nightfall and well lit after dark. Parks, restaurants, monuments, museums and the zoo are all easily accessible. It was an energizing experience to bike this trail. Highly recommended.
Rode the full length of this trail round trip. It’s well maintained and used by many people. Great surface for road bikes. Lots of places along the trail to stop and eat. Nice bridges. Lots of road crossings but many people were courteous and would stop for bike crossing, runners, and walkers. Equal mix of shade and sun. This is a great trail.
Rode the trail from Whitestown to Zionsville today. Got a little wet but it’s great that the trail has been extended to connect the two cities. The round trip was about 14 miles with very little elevation change. I would say about 75% is covered with shade. The complete path is asphalt. There is no parking at the Whitestown trail head. See parking info in the trail details for the parking area, which is right on the trail. There is a good brewery in Whitestown, Moontown Brewery for a post ride beverage. We skipped that part today as we were pretty soaked from the afternoon rain. Enjoy.
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.
This would-be beautiful trail is ideally situated and features lovely vistas of Indianapolis, views of the White River and a curvy paved path through a shady, wooded landscape. Sadly, a good portion of it is marred by countless homeless encampments and the resulting undisposed of trash. A sad reflection on our city and its leadership. The trail was also dangerously scattered with river debris and thick loose sand in several low spots. Ride for curiosity’s sake, but with caution.
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!!
