Milwaukee Road Transportation Trailway

Nice Milwaukee ride

August, 2025 by mike1318

First time on this gravel trail. Nice easy parking in Bedford. After leaving town there were a few areas getting work on after a washout. Once past those couple areas it was very beautiful shaded ride. Being a heavy user of Indianapolis trails, it is such a nice change to have peaceful country side to go through. Saw a couple of deer and a couple of bikers on, so I wasn’t worried about any stray cougars. Just kidding. Super enjoyable ride.

Fishing Line Trail (Noble)

How Long is It?

August, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This site says that the trail is 7 miles (one way), but my bike computer said it was only 5+ (one way), so does anybody know?

Anyway, this is a decent trail with some rough pavement near the Kendallville trailhead but is still pretty good.

Erie Rail Trail

Ok

August, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

A decent trail but with nothing to see/do.

Accordion

Granger Paths

Bring Headphones

August, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's a decent trail for locals but with unending noise for traffic and with nothing to see, I might consider skipping unless you're local.

Big 4 Trail (Lebanon to Colfax)

Enjoyable Ride

August, 2025 by goldfussjennifer

My husband and I rode this trail on 8-22-25. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and thought the trail was relatively well maintained. Some have complained about branches and rough surfaces but we did not find it bad at all. We are used to riding country roads in much worse conditions. We rode to Colfax and stopped to enjoy a meal at Pizza King. I highly recommend this stop! It had a small town friendliness and great service. We enjoyed a sub sandwich, salad, breadsticks, and milkshake. The breadsticks were outstanding as well as the handcrafted shakes- so many flavors from which to choose. We split the buckeye shake and it was delicious!

Monon Trail

LOVED IT!

August, 2025 by zap26

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.

Fishing Line Trail (Noble)

Beautiful Peaceful Trail Well Maintained

August, 2025 by kirch5803

The trail was amazing. It was very well kept and clean with restrooms available. Most of the trail was fully wooded and all of the trail was hard surface . Highly recommend this trail!!!

Nickel Plate Trail

Gold plated

August, 2025 by malysaamy

Started at Lovers Lane Parking lot on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and went half way out and back. The trail is up all the way, but not so much as to dampen your spirits or your legs.
Beautiful countryside with a mix of shaded woods and open fields. An occasional small town as well. Little to no cars in the road crossings.
We did not experience the on road riding at Peru but will be back to ride the northern section.
Just a beautiful trail that we will ride again.

Cardinal Greenway

Another mile, Another lie

August, 2025 by malysaamy

Rode Gaston South to Muncie out and back. Expectations were high to ride this rural route in it's entirety-one of the longest in Indiana. It started out with promise but mile after mile the trail disappointed.
We ended our adventure at the Muncie Bradley Road closure with neighborhoods getting sketchier and sketchier and trail surface deteriorating. We decided not to take the detour and turned around.
Expectations definitely deflated.
Next day went over to the Nickel Plate Trail which was exactly what we were looking for in a rural Indiana ride.

Wabashiki Trail

Noisy traffic but enjoyable

July, 2025 by sacrawf

Noisy traffic but nice views from the boardwalk. Extend your walking buy going south through Fairbanks park on the east side of the Wabash bridge.

Montezuma B&O Walking Bridge

Montezuma Wabash Bridge

July, 2025 by sacrawf

I’ve walked this multiple times, both alone and with grandkids. Parking is excellent and there are picnic table and benches at the site and on the Wabash bridge itself. The high sides of the first portion of the former railroad bridge obstructs views but it opens up to steel trestle for scenic river views. Beyond the bridge the trail is enjoyable with tributory on the left and woods/fields on the right. Unfortunately the trail ends at the active railroad tracks and a picnic table. Plans to extend are apparently underway. Train watching is fun at the terminus. Make it a real walk by walking through the nearby parks, downtown, and stopping at the Tasty Freeze for great ice cream.

Cardinal Greenway

Rode from Tingler Road

July, 2025 by john313

Yesterday we did start at the Tingler Road trail stop and rode up to Losantville and back, around 42 miles total. We LOVE this trail! My wife is excited to come back and ride the remainder sometime. A perfect trail to get lost in your thoughts, listen to the many beautiful bird songs and make train whistle sounds at the W signs signs
