I rode this trail south from the Muncie Depot, on 9/18/25. 2 blocks south the trail was diverted onto side streets due to construction of a new overpass. No apparent detour signs going south, so I had a bit of a time finding my way. This trail is ok, but showing signs of ageing, with numerous bad cracks in the pavement that need some attention. I would advise riding north from the depot until construction is finished (maybe late 2026?). Depot has bathroom and a gift shop.
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.
This is a nice trail, well maintained & good signage in both directions on the short road section.
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.
Started at Lovers Lane Parking lot on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and went half way out and back. The trail is up all the way, but not so much as to dampen your spirits or your legs.
Beautiful countryside with a mix of shaded woods and open fields. An occasional small town as well. Little to no cars in the road crossings.
We did not experience the on road riding at Peru but will be back to ride the northern section.
Just a beautiful trail that we will ride again.
Rode Gaston South to Muncie out and back. Expectations were high to ride this rural route in it's entirety-one of the longest in Indiana. It started out with promise but mile after mile the trail disappointed.
We ended our adventure at the Muncie Bradley Road closure with neighborhoods getting sketchier and sketchier and trail surface deteriorating. We decided not to take the detour and turned around.
Expectations definitely deflated.
Next day went over to the Nickel Plate Trail which was exactly what we were looking for in a rural Indiana ride.
Yesterday we did start at the Tingler Road trail stop and rode up to Losantville and back, around 42 miles total. We LOVE this trail! My wife is excited to come back and ride the remainder sometime. A perfect trail to get lost in your thoughts, listen to the many beautiful bird songs and make train whistle sounds at the W signs signs
This trail is closed 2.5 miles north of the Richmond trailhead. There are no signs indicating this or a detour around to connect it. Construction on I-70 is ongoing and I’ve been informed that the trail is open north of this point.
