146th Street Trail

The 146th Street Trail is a linear pathway that follows its namesake roadway across Westfield, which lies on the northern outskirts of Indianapolis. At Rohrer Road, the pathway connects to the Monon Trail, an 18-mile member of the Rail-Trail Hall of Fame that travels south into the heart of Indianapolis.

Farther east, the trail offers access to two popular shopping and dining areas: Clay Terrace and Cool Creek Commons. The views along the trail are primarily residential and commercial, but it also provides access to Carey Grove Park, which features a community garden, picnic spots, playgrounds, a half-size basketball court and a softball diamond.

Note that the pathway is not yet fully developed and there are wide gaps between completed segments.

Parking and Trail Access

Parking is available in Carey Grove Park (14001 N. Carey Road), Clay Terrace (14390 Clay Terrace Boulevard) and Cool Creek Commons (2510 E. 146th Street).

Not Really A Trail

This is more a sidewalk. It is a miserable ride at best. As others mentioned you are right beside a very busy road - dirt, debris and noise. You are also are at constant risk from the many neighborhood entrances you must cross. It is not a route to ride for fun or enjoyment. Ride this only if you need to get somewhere and want to be a tiny bit safer than riding on the busy street.

Okay but Busy Road

I took a section of this trail that runs along the South side of 146th street from the Hagen Burke Trail to Hazel Dell. It's an okay trail but it does run along a very busy road and it was rush hour when I took it. The trail crosses several subdivision entrances and a few bigger roads. You just have to watch for turning cars but it was an okay route to take. The path does seem to have a lot of debris on it with twigs, loose gravel, etc. that you need to watch for and it isn't as wide as other trails. I don't think I would use this just for a casual ride but to bike commute it did its job.

Ugh

Follows a very busy road and crosses many crossroads and highway entrances. Just stay on the Monon unless you need to get to a store that is off 146th.
