Indianapolis Canal Walk

“A 3-mile waterside loop through downtown — paddleboats, gondola rides, public art, a dog park, and a playground, all free to explore”

One of Indianapolis' most iconic landmarks. The 3-mile promenade follows the historic Central Canal from 11th Street to White River State Park, with lush green space, skyline views, and connections to the Cultural Trail. Rent a paddleboat or kayak from Wheel Fun Rentals, take a gondola ride with Old World Gondoliers, let the kids loose at the Colts Canal Playspace, or bring your dog to the Pawp-Up Pup Park. Visit the USS Indianapolis and Medal of Honor Memorials along the way. The path is cleared of snow and ice year-round. Free street parking on Sundays and holidays.
