I love this trail. It’s maintained very well, and I feel generally safe as a woman going through the wooded areas alone
Hi I run and Bike. Water fountains open at Pekin trail head. Partial crushed rock and paved. Awesome trail.
Lots of homeless people living right off the trail. The trail is not well maintained and smells really bad out there.
This trail was a very enjoyable ride. It was flat, pretty much straight and had many little spurs to get off to different parts of the area. I connects to the 3 mile long Buck Creek Trail and a very close connection to the Pleasant Run Trail (8 miles approx) so you can get a good amount of miles in with these trail connectors. They have a solar System Kiosk system with information about the Sun and the 8 closest planets (Mercury to Neptune). The trail itself looks new, especially in certain parts of it. It is well maintained and has good signage, although these have some gang signs on them. Some parts have absolutely no wind protection and other parts have solid trees on both sides of the trail. There is a little music area that you can play musical instruments and benches are plentiful.
Wow! This could be the worst trail I have ridden in years or ever. The trail rides from Ellenberger Park to Garfield Park. It was filthy with dirt on the trails, signage, while mostly helpful, was faded and/or had gang signs on them. I was ducking overhanging branches and pot holes/bumps for much of it along with riding through homeless tent city. There were a couple of intersections where it would've helped to have signage but as a first time rider, I was able to stick to the trail the whole time. This trail, in all honesty, has a lot of potential but it feels very neglected to say the least. Come on Indy, lets do better with this. It was so poor that I instead used roads instead of the trail to get back to my car.
This trail was top notch. It is a connection from Hornet Park to Bolton Park. Winding around a creek for much of the way, very new looking, clean with good signage. Parking on both ends of the trail. Probably best for running or walking due to the short distance but I must experience for trail lovers. It does not connect or have any near connections to any other trails.
As of May 2025 you can ride about 10 miles uninterrupted from Deam Lake to Pekin. The trail is paved through 5 towns (Borden, Pekin, Salem, Orleans, Mitchell). Restroom facilities are being built in a couple of those towns. It’s crushed lime except in the towns. Very enjoyable trail.
The trail was in great shape, especially for early Spring . The only issue was some gravel wash out from the tracks near Metamora; wider tires are helpful. Lots to look at on the canal. Pleased to see restrooms which are always welcome. Lots of food available when open.
The northwest corner of the trail shown on this map now extends along Indiana Avenue and along 10th Street, and also there’s a new stretch along South Street.
I hit the Indianapolis Cultural Trail around dusk, dog tired after a long drive from North Carolina. What a delight! The trail is broad, flat and easy to follow thanks to the colored pavers. The sections flanking the canal were stunning at nightfall and well lit after dark. Parks, restaurants, monuments, museums and the zoo are all easily accessible. It was an energizing experience to bike this trail. Highly recommended.
