Reviews
This is a nice canal. I went here while visiting Indianapolis and was satisfied with my experience. This is a small canal with sidewalks running alongside it, and it goes past the NCAA Museum, State History Museum, and Eiteljorg Museum. Walking on this idyllic canal instills a sense of calmness and tranquility in oneself. I gave this canal five stars because it looks nice and was pleasant to walk by.
A gorgeous place to spend a few hours either on a boat or walking the canal. There is art, sculptures, and history all along the canal. Walking at night is much more beautiful with all the lights accenting the canal.
Really enjoyed stopping here and taking in the scenery. Didn't have the time to rent a kayak, but I think next time I'm here I gotta fit it in. Did see a couple people out on them. This makes a really awesome spot and activity for the city.
I love that the canal walk is in the middle of Indy downtown and I am amazed by other attractions like museums, state parks or zoo that any tourist can visit from one to the next. You will see a lot of walkers and joggers around the area. You can enjoy some canoe or swan rides as well. I totally love this place.
It was really nice to walk down the canal. We also rented bikes which sped up the process & was nice as well.
So many things to do, also many rentals for water as well.
Very nice place for family or date
This is a good place for a walk. Plenty of area to have some festivities, although we did not see any.
Great place to walk around. It's very scenic and there are several places to visit our you can rent a paddle boat and ride on the canal. Also a great place for photos. So many colors and textures make it good for family photos or senior pictures.
It was a nice walk but there was nothing going on. No food options or activities. I expected more to do and locations to get food. It was April and it looks like the attractions don't open until May so that was disappointing.
