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!
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.
Fully agree with May and June 2025 Trailink Review postings. Highly recommended, but see warnings about surface below. Rode from Sam Ralston Rd. trailhead on North side of Lebanon to Colfax terminus and back (approx. 14.5 mi. one way) on warm sunny weekday. Approx. 2/3’s of trail is wide newer asphalt, very smooth, with the only surface issues tree debris and chipmunks. Route is well shaded, at least %50 at midday. Relatively few road crossings, maybe 10-12 max outside of the towns, and almost all are “soft”, gravel country roads with very little traffic. Only a dozen other users encountered.
There are no hills, one minor dip and rise, but perhaps a slight downhill grade generally from Lebanon to Colfax. I averaged 14 to 14.5 mph going out but on ln 12.5 to 13 coming back in little wind. The route is mostly arrow straight, with just a few shallow curves.
There are porta-potties at Thorton and Colfax, shaded picnic tables in both places, but no water fountains.
Trail through Thornton is not marked, but easy to follow; you jog ½ block south to a street heading into downtown, then at the main drag jog north ½ block to where trail resumes next to a white building which is the last on the west side of the street.
WARNINGS: surface coming out of Lebanon is terrible for 1st 200 yards, big potholes and expansion bumps, then 1 to 2” expansion bumps for the next 2 miles, every 100 to 200 feet, most of the worst are marked, including one the height of curb you probably have to stop for. Most of the bumps can be navigated around by weaving over to the lowest section, but you must keep constant watch on the surface. For approximately 1.5 miles around Thornton and for a short stretch between county roads 300 and 500 West the bumps resume, but less severe.
ALL THAT SAID, the unique attraction of this trail are the recently paved sections, where you get the glorious sensation of a gliding along alone through an empty green tunnel that extends literally for miles, as far as you can see, out ahead.
As of July 2025, the path is not yet connected past 465. You can ride approximately six miles from the Monon near the State Fair Grounds (right turn, North of the grounds), and take it. It’s heavily shaded, very flat, and newly paved. It’s one of the most delightful trails in Indianapolis. There’s no really good option to get around 465 right now, but the area has been cleared for paving, so it’s just a matter of time before this connects. Until then, enjoy the out-and-back from the Monon, it’s an absolute delight!
Parking at Al Berryman Splash Pad with bathrooms! Major win! Nice trail with lots of parks and places to rest if you need it.
they've extended the trail north in winamac from 11th to 17th Street. adding a half mile to the trail.
Lots of homeless people living right off the trail. The trail is not well maintained and smells really bad out there.
