Beautiful trail ride on 11/15/25! It runs along beside a horse trail. You will see lots of farms, cows, chickens and horses and cornfields, loved it, from Amo to Greencastle .Would have give it a 5 star if there would have been bathrooms at the end of the trail.
I love this trail. It’s maintained very well, and I feel generally safe as a woman going through the wooded areas alone
If you plan on using your ebike on the short trail off of Potters Bridge we were advised by the locals that they are no longer permitted do to others abusing the trail. We were told the trail is being watched closely by authorities. We wanted to see the the bridge and ride to the Nickel Plate Trail.
A few days ago we rode round trip from Richmond to Gaston, stopping for an overnight in Muncie. Overall it's a really nice trail. The only knock is that it starts to approach the "tunnel of trees"- pretty much that and farmland. Suggest taking a little detour to the Prairie Creek Reservoir area.
Pluses: a consistent, wide trail that is generally well maintained with a lot of rest stops, clean bathrooms, & shelters. Minuses: there are a few sections with cracked pavement, but they are well marked; created our own detour around the I-70 closure on-road.
A shout out to Dan at cycling and fitness Warehouse to letting us leave our car there overnight. It would be nice if the trail organizers came up with a safe spot at City Hall or something similar.
Note there is no closure at railroad bridge in Richmond. Only I-70.
I rode this trail south from the Muncie Depot, on 9/18/25. 2 blocks south the trail was diverted onto side streets due to construction of a new overpass. No apparent detour signs going south, so I had a bit of a time finding my way. This trail is ok, but showing signs of ageing, with numerous bad cracks in the pavement that need some attention. I would advise riding north from the depot until construction is finished (maybe late 2026?). Depot has bathroom and a gift shop.
loved riding this trail (except for the crowds on the trail for Carmel Days). My only complaint was the poorly placed trail marker where the trail made a hard right turn north of Carmel near Rt 32. The bathroom facility at 96th Street was outstanding.
We parked at the 69th Street Trailhead. We went north & it was a shady and a scenic ride. Carmel had restaurants next to the trail. Lots of walkers, cycles, & dogs. Very nice trail.
This is a nice trail, well maintained & good signage in both directions on the short road section.
On my way from PA to WI I decided to stop in Indianapolis, IN. I decided to ride the Monon Trail to the Cultural Trail in downtown, to the Canal Walk and reverse. I absolutely loved the ride, enjoyed riding through the city, and really liked all the murals and art as I was riding. As I was riding south and getting closer to downtown Indianapolis, there were a lot of road crossings, however I will say this was one of the most courteous places to bike, almost every car stopped to let bikers cross. If I ever come back to Indianapolis I would definitely ride this trail again. It is in one of my top 5 trails. Definitely worth doing if you are in Indianapolis.
