Your guide to Greater Indy Trailways.
When you step onto the Greater Indy Trailways, you are connecting to communities all across the region. You can travel from Broad Ripple to Brownsburg, Lebanon to Lawrence, but the trails and greenways of our region are so much more than just linking to your physical destination.
The Trailways are about connecting with your family and friends on a slow Sunday bike ride, connecting to adventure as you discover new restaurants and old neighborhoods. They are about connecting to your breath and heartbeat as you set out on your morning jog. Or connecting to the sights and sounds of nature as you ride through the countryside or stroll through urban greenways.
The Greater Indy Trailways are about connecting to ourselves and each other. Get outside, choose your adventure, and enjoy the views along the way.
Premier trails
Premier Trails are longer, off-street routes that showcase the breadth of experiences within the Trailways system.
Like interstates, some span multiple counties, creating powerful connections across Central Indiana, while others wind more intimately along streams and through cultural districts.
Connector trails
Connector trails are like “state highways”, but without all of the traffic.
These trails connect local communities and regional trails, spanning shorter distances. While the scenery may vary, you can always expect to experience your journey off-street, with ample space for you and passersby.
Access paths
Access paths are like “on ramps”, except you choose the speed.
These paths help you get to your destination or navigate gaps across The Trailways. Still off-street, a variety of access paths from trails to sidewalks can take you where you need or want to go, just be courteous when sharing these paths with others.
