Had a lovely walk on a Sunday afternoon, spotlessly clean, lots to see along the way, also saw a pink dog!!! Memorial to 911 near the Indiana Museum ( museum closed when we arrived). Small cafe.

We walked the canal at all different times of the day. We felt safe at all times. It is clean and well taken care of. You can rent paddle boats or bikes to enjoy the canal. Make sure you take bread to feed all the ducks.

The Central Canal offers a multitude of reasons to visit it while you're in Indianapolis. Residents already know what I mean so this isn't aimed at them.

As we walked along we saw joggers, pedal bikers, and walkers. At the north end, we stopped for lunch at the Creation Cafe. Since the canal is mostly residential... More

This could be a central part of downtown Indianapolis if they put some money into it. The museums sit on the canal but other than that there wasn't much to see. If they allowed some restaurants, shops, etc...to build along the canal it could be come a downtown hotspot.
