I live close enough to the trail that I could ride it daily if I wanted but a couple miles on either side of Thorntown are in such bad shape I avoid it. The asphalt has heaved or roots are pushing it up so much that it's as bad as being on a washboard dirt road. The areas around Thorntown are consistently in the worst shape. Once clear of that area it's much better but unfortunately that section is right in the middle of the trail so it can't be avoided.
What a gem, clearly marked and a great way to see areas around downtown Indianapolis. I’ve been to other Midwest cities and Indianapolis trail system is drastically underrated!
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.
First time on the trail. It was very nice and obviously kept up well. Lots of amenities as far as real bathrooms or even clean and initially some shelters and benches for taking a break. Lots of opportunities for eating if that's on the list.
We began our bike ride at the Sam Ralston Big 4 trailhead. This seems to be an older section of the path. It it’s only about 4 feet wide and has a fair amount of bumps in the pavement that make the ride a little rough, but not too bad. We rode north toward Colfax under a pretty canopy of trees. Lots of foliage and plenty of shade. From 350 W. to 400 N., the trail widen and was smoother. This part seemed to make a nice ride. However, throughout the entire trail, there are many tree and Bush branches that need to be trimmed. From 400 north up to Thorntown, the trail is awful with lots of roots coming up through the pavement. It was extremely bumpy and hard on our bikes, as well as us.
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
We rode the trail four days this week The scenery is so pleasant….truly southern Indiana. Cows in pastures too If you start at the end (Hartsrait Rd and 46W), you can ride almost four miles without crossing a major intersection. We parked at the $$$ across from the trail head Highly recommend
I was ready for a very rough ride in the midsection of the trail from Lebanon to Colfax and back. This is no knock on other reviews, but it made me very pleased with the shock absorption on my bike (Giant Roam 3). This was a smoother overall ride than I expected. I did hit a few (5 or less, one way) tree root-made rises that got my attention, but as others have advised, if you take them slowly you'll be OK.
If there were any crushed rock sections, they were well compacted, not loose. Most of the trail was smooth and flat, and the tree canopy along with a slight breeze made the route cool on a hot summer day. There are several benches in the shade for rest stops. I'm a casual rider, not concerned with speed, and this trail fit my style. I expect I will ride it again in the not too distant future.
