Trail Running at Eagle Creek Park

In partnership with Indy Parks

For Eagle Creek programs, please visit this Indy Parks page.

RUN EAGLE CREEK PARK!

Over 16 miles of trails provide an active escape in one of Indianapolis’ most serene settings.

Six major trails along with additional trails located at the Ornithology Center wind throughout the park and are easy-to-moderate in difficulty.

Natural and gravel paths lead you through mature woods filled with beech, maple, tulip, white ash and black cherry into open meadow areas, and past the reservoir and Lilly Lake.

You’re bound to encounter some wild creatures, as well as companion animals as you venture over bridges, steps, and a few steep hills.

ADOPT A TRAIL

Whether you love the Red Trail, West Side Hiking Trail, or ADA paths, Eagle Creek Park’s Trail Crew is responsible for maintaining them.

Donations to the Trail Fund are used exclusively for maintenance and can only be invested in the trails at Eagle Creek Park.
