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.
There's nothing to see or do here, and with such a short round trip, I advise skipping this one.
This trail is an excellent choice if you're local, (or willing to travel) for anyone who wants a good trail. It's a little bit hilly, a mix of sun and shade, pavement is pretty smooth and with an great round trip, the only real downside is the frequent road crossings, some of which might require you to get off your bike and walk across.
I would definitely recommend this trail to those looking.
Ok section, kind of dull. Agriculture & cows. Found a bit of shade by a grain elevator for lunch. Several washouts filled with tumbleweeds as you get closer to Lind.
My first time going and it was great! Safe place and beautiful scenery
We started in Akron and rode about 18 miles north. Loved it!!!
We rode about 35 miles of this trail August, 2024. Day 1: D street trailhead to Williamsburg (22 miles round trip). Very rough road in Richmond and heavy traffic at 2 road crossings. Once we got to Webster it was a lovely ride to Williamsburg. Porta-john at Webster and Williamsburg. Nice little shelter with picnic tables in Williamsburg too. Day 2: Williamsburg to Losantville (25 miles round trip). Alternated between wooded areas and open farmland. Saw some animals and birds - including cardinals. The last 3 miles into Losantville follows US 35 and there is a lot of vehicle noise but the trail does not force you to cross US 35. We did walk across 35 in Losantville to gas station for drink and snack - there was some tables and chairs outside. Also used the restroom. Day 3: Medford north to just past US 35 (27 miles round trip). This is roughest part of path we rode. There were not only horizontal cracks but also deep vertical cracks in pavement that were dangerous to bike tires. Not much shade and not very scenic with several heavy traffic rode crossings, including crossing US 35 twice. We did stop at depot in Muncie. Nice restrooms, gift shop and trail info, including mileage chart that I did not find online anywhere.
I rode the Panhandle Pathway from the Kenneth trailhead to Winimac and back. Overall, it is a good trail for those who are wanting to get away from the crowds and do some riding. There is nothing specific to to tell about the trail except that the Tippecanoe River bridge is very well done. The trail is flat and easy to ride. The Winimac trailhead area is nice because there are public restrooms directly adjacent to the trail. Conversely, the Panhandle is experiencing the inevitable problem that comes with time. There are several areas that have tree roots heaving and then cracking the trail surface.
This is a beautiful trail. We had to stop for two fawns standing on the trail. We watched a doe and a bald eagle in the river. There is a hairpin turn as you near Lagro, that has an immediate uphill climb.
Run in this trail and the connecting converse junction trail several times a week. Feels like a safe place, lots of shade, pretty flat. Kept in good shape.
