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.
I drove 4 hours to bike this trail (15 miles out and back) the last day of May and thoroughly enjoyed everything about it - the curves, the great condition of the trail, the birdsong, the bridges, the view of the river, the other cyclists as well as walkers. The switchback hill was tough. The ride on the road wasn’t bad at all. I recommend this trail for anyone looking for a trail of this length.
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.
Ribbon cutting ceremony for the bridge opening was on 27 Feb 26. Today, the trail now extends from Fishers to 82nd ST
For many years, I lived in Richmond about half a mile from where the Cardinal Greenway and Gorge trail meet and have spent hundreds of hours riding a bike on the trail. It is by far the best greenway I have used in Indiana and might be my favorite trail of all time. I now live further away, but plan to make drive at least a few times this year to ride on it again.
Here are the highlights:
1. The trail is long. You can spend hours on the trail without having to loop. I'm looking forward to it becoming even longer too as it combines to form a segment of the Great American Rail Trail.
2. It's smooth. There are a few parts here and there that have worn, but overall, the organization does a superb job of keeping up with wear and damage. They also seem to have a robust crowd of volunteers who mow and keep the trail clean and tidy.
3. The trailheads are some of the best I've seen on trails. They are numerous and offer more amenities that many other greenways. Most have a decent amount of parking. Several have drinking fountains and bike tools. During the warm months, they also put out Porta Potties. Of course, there's also small towns along the way with various amenities.
4. The Indiana countryside is beautiful, especially on a sunny spring or summer day. I gained a new appreciation for rural Indiana. Beautiful small, but rolling hills with green pastures and grazing cattle. Small towns with rustic mom-and-pop shops. Amish wagons puttering along. Shaded, wooded areas with quiet rustling leaves. This trail has it all!
What are you waiting for? Get out there.
Great place for walk ride or run. Love this trail and location in connected to an amazing and well maintained county park.
