The Indianapolis Canal Walk is a scenic and historic 3-mile promenade in downtown Indianapolis, offering a peaceful retreat amidst the city's hustle and bustle. Originally constructed in the 1800s as part of the Indiana Central Canal project, it has been revitalized into a vibrant urban space featuring pedestrian paths, cultural landmarks, and recreational activities. The canal offers opportunities for paddle boating and gondola rides, providing unique ways to explore the area. Additionally, the nearby Colts Canal Playspace offers a playground for children, making it a family-friendly destination. The Canal Walk is open year-round and is especially enjoyable during spring and summer months when the weather is pleasant, and the surrounding flora is in full bloom. It's easily accessible and connects with other trails like the Indianapolis Cultural Trail, offering extended exploration options.

The canal was a lot of fun! There’s plenty of space to walk, and you can rent all kinds of stuff such as multi-person bikes, paddle boats, and canoes. If you take a paddle boat, it’s about a mile one way or around 30 minutes the other. Along the way, you get some nice views of the sights around the canal.
