This "trail" is made up of many smaller trails and some of it is on roads. Do as much research on this as you can before your trip!
Some superb sections, but not quite enough length. Its a bit chopped up with sections unconnected and requiring street traversal to connect. Alongside Ohio River makes it world class for those portions, but just not quite enough. Overall, an A-, B+. Can't say I'm drawn to repeat but its fun and worth a single trip at least. If you wish to get off bike and do some things while there, it has enough to sustain that notion, for sure!
Great paved surface and well kept. I like that it is a loop and shows you some really cool sights of the airport.
I rode the trail in late October. In the northern section, much dead brush, grass and limbs were on the windy path that went through the wooded area. Some tree roots were pushing up the asphalt and much of fence that separated the trail from the businesses was broken. After I crossed the street, I saw more trash on the southern part. The trail ended at the bottom of the stairs that led to the street. It was Autumn so I expected leaves and such, but the trash needs to get removed. Hopefully a work day to clean up the brush and trash is being planned, since it sure needed it.
Not bad of a trail for a short ride or a stroll, if it could be kept up better. Probably like most trails, time, workers, volunteers, and money are in short supply.
The southern section is fine along Mill Creek and Salway Park. It then seemed to dead end at a fence by a business but where the red line on TrailLink said the trail was located and should continue. The red line needs to move to the sidewalk along William P Dooley Bypass/Spring Grove Ave. I crossed that road about 2:45, just biking fast when I saw a break in traffic. It would be better to have a cross walk signal of some sort. At rush hour it would be terrible in my opinion. There was only about 3/10's (guessing) on the other side of the road until the trail ended. This 2-mile or so trail was kept up better than the northern section. Any trail is better than none, so it is good for the area.
Hi I run and Bike. Water fountains open at Pekin trail head. Partial crushed rock and paved. Awesome trail.
The trail was well marked, scenic and well-maintained. We rode it twice, once in each direction.
Indiana has done a beautiful job with this trail. Could use real restrooms on New Albany end but the port a pots were fairly clean.
As of May 2025 you can ride about 10 miles uninterrupted from Deam Lake to Pekin. The trail is paved through 5 towns (Borden, Pekin, Salem, Orleans, Mitchell). Restroom facilities are being built in a couple of those towns. It’s crushed lime except in the towns. Very enjoyable trail.
We rode the Riverwalk section and the Big Four Bridge. The bridge was great, the Riverwalk was not. It is true they had major flooding about 3 weeks ago and, understandably, this was not yet fully remediated. But even in unaffected areas the majority of the trail goes through dilapidated inner city and industrial sections with only minimal and unmaintained landscaping, hardscaping, or other park amenities. If you want a much better southern Riverwalk trail experience, go to Chattanooga TN or Columbus GA.
We crossed the Big Four Bridge while riding the River Walk portion of the Louisville Loop trail. The bridge was way better than the trail.
