We just rode the western part of the trail. Excellently maintained, great mile markers ever .2 miles. They have a new on line museum and artifacts of the old train line on the trail. Very cool. We plan to park near the trail next May and ride our bikes to the Indy 500. It passes 1/4 from the track. The B & O is an excellent ride! Joe Gutzwiller
The trail from Verona to trotwood was in great shape, appropriately marked, clean and no problems. Totwood South was problematic I decided not to take that today. A very nice ride with lots of things to see or stop.
I was so looking forward to this trail, but after hitting over 15 sections of large-stone gravel AND getting a flat as a result, I deem it horrible unless you ice a fat tire or mountain bike. My understanding is that the state is out of money and are not fixing these for now. Would
Love to have the Cardinal Greenway people know this and pay for my freaking inconvenience.
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.
The paved trail has not been maintained and is frequently interrupted by bursting roots. Lots of homeless in the area and trash on the trail. There are much better ones in Indy…
Highly recommend this beautiful and well kept trail. Beautiful to ride along the trees and over the 2 epic ohiopyle bridges.
Great connector on Pennsy - takes you through Cumberland and some nice neighborhoods!
I use this trail once a week or so to ride from Zionsville to the Monon, as it is, to my knowledge, the only direct path connecting the two and for that, I am grateful.
That said, that particular stretch needs some serious love. There are various cutouts in the asphalt where maintenance/utility companies have dug but no one ever patched afterward. Some of the driveway and intersection ramps are brutal and navigating the roundabouts around Highway 31/Meridian can be rough, depending on the time of day. Once you clear the Monon heading east, though, the trail gets much smoother and is significantly more enjoyable, though. I’ve only ridden that stretch a few times, but is lovely. I hope we’ll see some improves on the Zionsville-Carmel stretch someday.
Flat paved path. Does cross two roads, but markings/signs are present for safety. The wooded area is peaceful, wish it was longer.
Great path, had some elevated spots. You do cross two moderate used roads but the path has excellent markings for vehicles.
