My husband and I started at 191st St in Westfield and rode north to the end of the Monon Trail in Sheridan. It was a lovely early Fall evening. We enjoyed the quiet ride into the country with corn and bean fields on either side for most of this portion of the Monon. It was about 16 miles round trip.
We parked at Province Park & rode east on our recumbent trikes (no suspension). Made a couple of wrong turns due to lack of signage. This part of the trail is very rough due to divots & root bumps. There is a neighborhood at the end of the trail so we decided to extend our ride by exploring it. The roads are very bumpy also! We made our way back to Province Park & continued west to the end of the trail. This part of the trail was smoother & more enjoyable. All in all; maybe a 1 out of 5.
The Whitewater River Gorge Trail is short, but sweet! Despite heavy rains recently, and some mud from those rains across the path, this is a beautiful walk or ride. My wife and I found the trail accidentally at the southern end of the Cardinal Trail. We were so happy that we took this bike ride because it has lots of character and foliage to enjoy. You will cross a couple of bridges across the west Fork of the Whitewater river and wind your way down to an overlook at the end. You can stop and enjoy the stream there before you ride or walk back to the Cardinal Trail.
We rode the GAP from Cedar Creek Park to the Boston trailhead at the base of the Historic Boston Bridge and back. About 36 miles round trip. What a great ride. Smooth trail with lots of benches and several picnic areas and toilet facilities. Well maintained. Passed through several little communities along the trail. No major highways and very few little roads to cross making it very safe. Got a delicious huge “medium” size ice cream cone at the “Big Twist” in Blythedale, right off the trail. Highly recommend this ride!
This is probably one of the most boring trails we’ve ridden. There aren’t even any cute little towns along the way to ride into and stop for lunch! ¿¿¿¿
I rode the Hamco Hubway earlier this year by starting at the 96th Street Monon trailhead and riding north to the 106. The trail is in good shape but needs signage when it comes to intersections. There is no signage to guide the users .
The Monon Trail was the first rail to trail in this area that I was aware of. We've used it so many times since it's been built and are very thankful for it. It's not to say that it's been perfect. Few things are. It is easy to get to, and while it is crowded at times, it works as long as you're courteous and careful. There are times on the Marion County portion of it when the maintenance seems to slip. That's been that way over the last few years. Just as you are heading north out of Broad Ripple, there are several areas where the road has buckled and is unsafe. A couple of years ago, south of the fairgrounds, it was similar in that area. If you're not aware of these areas, it is easy to wreck, especially if you are going fast. Generally, the trail is very open the farther north of Carmel you go. If you need to get out for a short ride, a longer one, or to walk, it is good. We are blessed to have it.
Used it for biking, not much to look at, and there’s one huge hill that is too much for me
You'll get plenty of sunshine on this smooth & enjoyable trail and you can continue your journey if you want onto the Converse Junction Trail for a 10 mile round trip experience.
We just rode the western part of the trail. Excellently maintained, great mile markers ever .2 miles. They have a new on line museum and artifacts of the old train line on the trail. Very cool. We plan to park near the trail next May and ride our bikes to the Indy 500. It passes 1/4 from the track. The B & O is an excellent ride! Joe Gutzwiller
