The trail takes you to downtown Carmel. Cute area to explore. Plenty of restaurants and shops. Be sure to check out the Carmel Old Town Antique Mall.

Easy riding trail, very flat. Points of interest along the way. Easy to break your journey and stop off for a drink or a bite to eat along several points on the Monon trail.

The trail is really nice even if you are not willing to workout, just to enjoy a little bit of nature. It's convenient if you want to eat something after exercising. The Carmel and Broad Ripple area are my favorites. I love that trail.

The Monon trail is a lovely place to bicycle, walk, or roller blade. I ride by myself on the trail all the time, and have never had a problem. This trail does go through urban areas and at times it can be secluded. Because of this, one should always make sure to be aware of your surroundings, carry your cell... More

The Monon Trail is an excellent place to walk/jog/run/ride bike. It is well used and there is lots of space. Could use some lighting for night time, late evening use.
