I drove 4 hours to bike this trail (15 miles out and back) the last day of May and thoroughly enjoyed everything about it - the curves, the great condition of the trail, the birdsong, the bridges, the view of the river, the other cyclists as well as walkers. The switchback hill was tough. The ride on the road wasn’t bad at all. I recommend this trail for anyone looking for a trail of this length.
Discovered this comfortable place with great accommodations for two bike travelers. They offer a pullout sofa if you do not wish to share a bed. Indoor bike storage with a comfy bed and a hot shower! Distillery right next-door and two restaurants to fuel up in the morning to get back on the trail. Close to the panhandle of West Virginia. Their name is Harmony Trail Haven on Airbnb.
Flat paved path. Does cross two roads, but markings/signs are present for safety. The wooded area is peaceful, wish it was longer.
I love the bike path being available in this small town
We ride this trail a lot. I believe the patrons of this trail set the standard for great maintenance. 2 porta pottys along this trail are much appreciated.
For many years, I lived in Richmond about half a mile from where the Cardinal Greenway and Gorge trail meet and have spent hundreds of hours riding a bike on the trail. It is by far the best greenway I have used in Indiana and might be my favorite trail of all time. I now live further away, but plan to make drive at least a few times this year to ride on it again.
Here are the highlights:
1. The trail is long. You can spend hours on the trail without having to loop. I'm looking forward to it becoming even longer too as it combines to form a segment of the Great American Rail Trail.
2. It's smooth. There are a few parts here and there that have worn, but overall, the organization does a superb job of keeping up with wear and damage. They also seem to have a robust crowd of volunteers who mow and keep the trail clean and tidy.
3. The trailheads are some of the best I've seen on trails. They are numerous and offer more amenities that many other greenways. Most have a decent amount of parking. Several have drinking fountains and bike tools. During the warm months, they also put out Porta Potties. Of course, there's also small towns along the way with various amenities.
4. The Indiana countryside is beautiful, especially on a sunny spring or summer day. I gained a new appreciation for rural Indiana. Beautiful small, but rolling hills with green pastures and grazing cattle. Small towns with rustic mom-and-pop shops. Amish wagons puttering along. Shaded, wooded areas with quiet rustling leaves. This trail has it all!
What are you waiting for? Get out there.
Great place for walk ride or run. Love this trail and location in connected to an amazing and well maintained county park.
If you're not a local, I would skip this one. Not a bad trail, but there's nothing here to recommend either.
We went 20 miles from Tingler Road to Losantville (then back again - 40 mile round trip). It was a gorgeous day in November 2025 (a few days after a snowstorm) It was in the high 60's so we decided to get another ride in. I would highly recommend this trail. Even though you cross quite a few roads, they aren't busy, so I think we only came across 1 car as we crossed. Part is a little noisy, because you go along the highway, but most of it is pretty quiet. Crossed a few streams/rivers. Lots of farmland too. We'd like to ride more of the Cardinal GW, it was worth the hour drive for us to get there.
Would love for them to keep going with this trail! Love it! Please put street signs where we stop! That would be great
Love this trail! Only thing I do not like is going thru downtown. A lot of shady people! Other than that!! Great trail and Eagle Marsh is the best!
