Trail Talk: Issue 46: Zionsville Couple Discovers Quiet Charm of the Panhandle
The Panhandle Pathway recently welcomed some fresh tracks as Zionsville residents Mark and Rebecca made the trip to north central Indiana to experience the scenic trail together. The weekend getaway provided the perfect opportunity to test out Rebecca’s brand-new bicycle.
While Mark was already familiar with the route, he was eager to introduce his wife to the trail for the very first time. Living on the northwest side of Indianapolis, the couple frequently looks for weekend rides that offer an escape from heavy city traffic without requiring an exhausting drive from home.
For them, the Panhandle Pathway checked every box, providing a quiet, safe, and beautifully rural environment to get outside and ride.
"Thank you for such a nice trail," the couple shared following their excursion. "We enjoyed our visit and will be back."
With its peaceful atmosphere and easy proximity to the Indy metro area, the trail continues to prove itself as a premier destination for regional cyclists looking for a serene retreat.

We are from Plainfield and rode the Panhandle for the first time this summer. Our friends from Watervliet, MI met us there. We had a great time and loved the trail. We ate at One Eyed Jack’s in Winamac.
I am from Zionsville, too and have enjoyed the Panhandle Pathway. It’s an enjoyable ride.
We ride the Panhandle Pathway every time we camp at Tippecanoe River State Park in Winamac. We love it
We (from the New Albany Louisville area), rode it last year. When you turn around at the end in Winamac you can see the Braun Mobility building. That was where our handicapped van was put together. Then our group rode on the Nickel Plate for two days.
There was an attempt to extend the pathway to the Tippecanoe State Park entrance but someone killed it evidently
