Monon Trail, Carmel, Indiana, USA

The trail is only 4.4 miles long, running through Lake County from Munster to Hammond. In the Indianapolis area, the trail consists of 18.1 miles running through Hamilton and Marion counties, connecting Indianapolis, Carmel, and Westfield.

The Monon Trail located entirely within the state of Indiana. The Monon Railroad was a popular railroad line connecting the cities of Chicago and Indianapolis, with stops at major settlements along its route. After the decline of railroad travel and the sale of the company in 1987, the portion of the line between Indianapolis and Delphi, Indiana was abandoned.

The first portions of the trail were created in the late 1990s, but it has been consistently extended in both of its segments since then. Today, the trail is a shared use path, complete with trailheads, park amenities, and local attractions near it
