Indianapolis Cultural Trail
A roughly 13 km car-free walking and cycling path encircling downtown, linking six cultural districts with plenty of public art along the way.
The Indianapolis Cultural Trail was completed in full in 2013. It is a brick-paved walking and cycling path physically separated from traffic, with a total length of about 13 km. It links six cultural districts: Massachusetts Avenue, Fountain Square, the Wholesale District, Indiana Avenue, the canal and White River State Park, and the University Quarter, as well as landmarks such as Monument Circle and City Market. Along the route are sculptures, interactive light installations and rain gardens, and it is regarded as a benchmark for urban trail development in the United States. You can ride a shared bike through the Indiana Pacers Bikeshare system to tour the route. A complete ride takes about 1 to 1.5 hours, and the trail is free to use.
