Visited Indianapolis the week before Thanksgiving 2025 for a conference and rode the trail from Carmel to Sheridan and back. It was a warm and sunny November day, which brought out lots of trail users. Downtown Carmel is a delightful place to stop and walk around - show respect for other users and ride slowly through town. Further north the trail opens up with longer distances between road crossings, and far fewer groups walking or jogging. I turned around just before the end of the trail in Sheridan. I see opportunity to some enterprising business owners to develop more options for trail users in Sheridan, but during my ride I stopped at the Speedway just off the trail at Main Street to refuel and take a break. I'm looking forward to some day riding the length of the trail into downtown Indy.
If you're not a local, I would skip this one. Not a bad trail, but there's nothing here to recommend either.
What a fabulous trail! Loved seeing all the rural Amish farms along the way. We were even able to eat lunch at an Amish Cafe along the trail!
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.
We went 20 miles from Tingler Road to Losantville (then back again - 40 mile round trip). It was a gorgeous day in November 2025 (a few days after a snowstorm) It was in the high 60's so we decided to get another ride in. I would highly recommend this trail. Even though you cross quite a few roads, they aren't busy, so I think we only came across 1 car as we crossed. Part is a little noisy, because you go along the highway, but most of it is pretty quiet. Crossed a few streams/rivers. Lots of farmland too. We'd like to ride more of the Cardinal GW, it was worth the hour drive for us to get there.
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.
Hi I run and Bike. Water fountains open at Pekin trail head. Partial crushed rock and paved. Awesome trail.
Beautiful!!! You even ride by the animals! One of the best so far!
Would love for them to keep going with this trail! Love it! Please put street signs where we stop! That would be great
