Description

Added by Nicholas Love

Marott Park is 20 minutes north of downtown Indianapolis and offers several scenic trails along the White River and Monon Trail. This is an excellent place to trail run on all types of terrain (hills, forests, sand, and river beds).

Parking for Marott Park is right off of College Avenue and is easily accessible for anyone living in downtown Indianapolis or in the Broad Ripple area. We often take our dog here to run trails along the riverbed. You can cover several miles of trails here and crank out some hill repeats (which can be rare in Indianapolis). It's a great place to meet other dog owners and to play fetch with your furry friends.

Trail Run at Marott Park

06/03/16

I run here often and I would recommend not parking on the north end of the park. I had my vehicle vandalized last fall and it seems to be a frequent thing. Other than that it is a nice flat trail that attaches to the paved Monon trail that runs for as long as you want to take it.

Hike at Eagle Creek Beach

As you pass through the entrance of Eagle Creek, you will drive through windy roads surrounded in pine trees. There are signs telling you where everything is located. There are lots of different places to park depending on what you wanna do.If you like hiking, take a trip to Eagle Creek. They have a great variety of trails. Some between 1-2 miles, and other up to 6 miles. As seen in the picture...

Hike the Sodalis Nature Park Loop

Starting at the entrance of Sodalis, there two ways you can take. If you go to the left, it will take you to the trails in the woods. If you go right, that will take you to the lake view area. The lake view area has a dock that goes out into the lake which is a great lake to fish on. You'll also find picnic tables, grills. and everything you need to have a family BBQ. Again, if you are heading ...

Run Vandalia Trail

Vandalia Trail runs west 12 miles from Amo to Greencastle along what used to be old rail road tracks. I regularly go to Vandalia with friends for long runs. We will typical run 5 to 6 miles out and flip it back around. About 3 miles in, you'll pass through a small Indiana town with a small, old downtown strip. This adds a nice stereotypical feel to what Indiana is like with its many small count...

Tour the Hard Truth Distillery

Hard Truth Distilling Company only just opened in 2015, and already they have experienced massive growth. There are good reasons for this- their spirits are fantastic, the indoor tour still has the "small company" vibe, and they offer ATV tours of the area around the distillery! The indoor tour includes a spirit tasting where you are allowed to select any three of their spirits to try. I highly...

Hike Scarlet Oak Woods

Hike the Devil's Punch Bowl

Starting at the central parking lot near the pond, follow the signs for Trail 1, which will take you down through a set of steps and boardwalks to the bottom of a steep canyon. From there, simply follow the canyon downstream. The canyon trail terminates at Silver Cascade Falls, a unique convex waterfall that flows over a series of siltstone before dropping to the river valley floor below. From...
