Downtown IndyJuly 17, 2014Take a walk along the 1.5 mile long Central Canal. Along the Canal Walk, check out some of the city’s best contemporary architecture.
Carrie Savage-ZimmermanApril 17, 2016Be sure to visit the 9/11 memorial above the Canal opposite the Indiana History Center on West Ohio Street. Viewable by day and evening (uplift from recessed lights).- Maria AlvizMay 10, 2018Great views of the city from the Canal. Rent a bike or a paddle boat. This is one of my favorite family activities in Indy!

Superb place to spend an afternoon plus it connects to some stellar venues, restaurants, and museums.
Melissa TewNovember 2, 2011I'm in Indy every week and for the 1st time, I'm SO excited about finding an great, safe place to run! A clean 3 mile loop on a nice, paved, canal walk. Cafes, residences, and IU line the path. Nice!!
It is always beautiful to walk along the canal. Good places to sit and rest, boats to rent, #pinneapleslushy from @Fresco

Steven CrawleyJanuary 21, 2017I love it here, it's perfect for a date, hold hands and talk while you walk. People leave you alone do you can relax and enjoy whether on a date or alone.
Anastasiya WalkerJune 6, 2013Concerts on the canal during the summer are great to attend. They are family friendly and good for a date.
Nicholas WilliamsMay 19, 2022Beautiful on a nice day, with lots of stops to look at. NCAA museum, state office buildings/ statehouse, and more. Paddle boats too.- Jerry DiceSeptember 17, 2015What a great urban walkway in downtown Indy. Very accessible and neat how various museums have entries at the canal level.

Scott DeBergMay 2, 2014The part of Indy that I miss the most - the Canal Walk. Great exercise, great sights.
Martin OvandoMarch 22, 2016Ok for walking. I though it would be more "live" at night... Maybe more people there, coffee shops or people playing music... A point of reunion for young people.. Should be like that.- You can rent a bike for $10 an hour and see the whole canal walk!
There needs to be public access to restrooms along the canal!
Kimberli ShahanMarch 22, 2014It is so pretty and nice to see families and pet owners out with their animals

The Canal Walk is part of the Indiana Central Canal, which was dug in the early 1800s, in an effort to facilitate interstate commerce. Today, the refurbished Canal Walk serves the downtown community as a waterside promenade for walkers, runners, bikers and sightseers.
