Ride along the Indianapolis Cultural Trail
If you’ve got a bike or are in the mood to rent one (or don’t mind a decent walk), then look no further than Indy’s very own Cultural Trail — an eight-mile paved route that takes visitors seamlessly past some of the city’s most famous attractions!
Whether your taste is for art galleries, parks, monuments, museums, or gardens, a trip down this tourist-friendly route—which passes through no less than six quirky neighborhoods: Mass Ave, Fountain Square, The Canal & White River State Park, Indiana Avenue, the Wholesale District, and Market East—is sure to be a highlight of your trip!
The eight-mile Indianapolis Cultural Trail opened in 2013. The route, which sits atop almost 8,000 cubic yards of dirt, connects downtown to Broad Ripple Village and Carmel. It comprises around 80 bike racks as well as 9 public art initiatives. It was created to strengthen Indianapolis' art community by connecting every key arts, culture, history, sports, and entertainment facility.
The route also features gardens that are maintained in accordance with different environmentally informed concepts in order to offer green space, wildlife habitats, and protected pedestrian-focused corridors in downtown Indianapolis. The garden beds comprise five acres and feature thousands of perennial plants and hundreds of shrubs, as well as the addition of 525 trees to the city landscape. Food tours, walking and bike excursions, and egg hunts are among the events that take place along the path.
