A ribbon cutting ceremony to commemorate the completion of the Monon Trail extension in northern Hamilton County will take place at 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 3 at the intersection of Second Street and State Road 38 in Sheridan.
With this extension, the Monon Trail now connects all the way through Hamilton County to downtown Indianapolis.
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 SR 47 to Second Street that opened in October 2024. 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.
This project completes the trail within Hamilton County and was funded with support from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and the largest infusion of dedicated trails funding in state history.
