I love the flow, the smoothness, and location of this trail. It is thoughtfully laid out, well maintained, and at 7.25 miles long a perfect 35-40 minute work out.

Love this trail. Its a flowing single track just under 7 miles long. There are some very obvious "sections" of the trail. The first is the roller coaster and sends you back and forth over the old levee in front of white river. After you go under the interstate, you cross into what I like to call the "savanna" section of the trail. Very flat and dusty. The last section after u cross back under the interstate is the most technical and has a few good hills and drops.

Its good because it is great to have something in the city, but it is not as technical as southern indiana trails. If you have not been lately, there are big changes throughout the trail. Seems as though every few months the trail is being changed and improved upon. I believe it is actually around 9 miles with tetanus hill, which is a vital part of the ride. You will see a huge variety of people out there. From beginners to pros to people with full suspension that think they are pros. Do not be intimidated, even the most meager bike will perform well, be courteous to fast and slow riders and allow people to pass. Great singletrack for Single Speeders as well >=) Tread lightly.

This trail kicks some major a$$. I am 16 and have been riding for 4 years, and this is by far my favorite trail. Go try it out!

to get there, you turn west onto 96th street off alisonville road. Right after you cross the white river, turn into Town Run Park on the south side of the road. Great trail, busy on weekends though. They have a race there on wednesday nights at 6:30, open to anyone of all abilities.

apparently this trail has changed over the years and i dont know how it used to be cause ive only been riding this one since the summer of '03 but i think it rocks. we rode this one quite a bit last summer and youll get burnt on it if you ride it a lot. lots of fun steep hills and a little technical riding but not much, just all around fun trails. Only downfall is that its not that long so usually ill ride it two or three times when i go there. ...oh yea and lots of people like to go there so when its busy - watch your ass or youll get ran over. Lots of fathead trailpro's here but plenty of cool people too.the trail could stand to have some jumps so people could catch air. They are really fun as hell to ride though. Worth checkin out.

What a ride this was my first time there and I was amazed at how much fun it was!! Being new to mountain biking this trail can really get a person hooked! This trail has some extremly tight turns and somewhat steep hills as a friend of mine found out when she lost control skidding down the hill with the river to the left in full view!Beautiful trail and tons of fun!Indy Bicycle Garage is close by so if you need more parts they are sure to help.

So how do you get there?Is it the trail right offthe bypass?


Posted by: Jason on 8/12/2002
One of the best trails i've been on. Very fast. Prepare for your brakes to smoke. The course that I travel was 7.25 miles long and took about 50 min or so.
