Scott D. • May 2, 2014The part of Indy that I miss the most - the Canal Walk. Great exercise, great sights.

Krista G. • June 23, 2023A great way to see the city! Easily accessible to downtown hotels and bike share stations. Watch for pedestrians who like to walk with headphones in.

Maria A. • July 9, 2018A great place to take a walk whether during the day or even in the evening. The memorials are also awesome to look at!

Griffin M. • February 15, 2016Its nice to walk around downtown, especially at night in the circle. If you have a little money, you ride and elevator to the top of the monument and see the city. Recommend it :)
