The Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Town of Sheridan cut the ribbon last Friday, Oct. 3 on the completed Monon Trail extension in northern Hamilton County.
The new trail extends 1.1 miles northwest from Second Street to the Hamilton/Boone county line and connects to the existing trail project from State Road 47 to Second Street that opened in October 2024. The trail follows the historic railroad corridor through the center of Sheridan. To the south, the existing Monon Trail extends more than 26 miles and travels through Westfield, Carmel, and Broad Ripple, ultimately terminating at 10th Street in downtown Indianapolis.
The asphalt multi-use trail extension was constructed by the town with help from a $2,089,850 grant from the DNR announced in April 2022.
