Great place to meet with friends in the outdoors and go for a walk. Just one thing not very pleasant is that the pedestrian crossing areas are not very clean...

Indianapolis Canal walk was beautiful. Nice place for a first time date, daytime date, or a family day for the park. They have bikes, scooters, and water paddle boats you can rent. They have a nice walking/ running/ bike trail around the canal. There was one actual restaurant on canal walk that I spotted. Very small but looked nice.

Indianapolis Canal Walk is one of my favorite places to meet clients to take pictures and spend time with my own family! I enjoy how peaceful it always seems to be/feel while visiting here, you dont feel like youre in the heart of the city. Theres a place to rent bikes and peddle boats and I really enjoy getting an iced coffee from the little italian bistro there. I highly recommend taking a stroll here the next time your in Downtown Indianapolis!

Very well maintained beautiful place to hang out. Good for all age bars and family. Did the pedal boat rental and it worth the experience. Water is crystal clear and the fountains were amazing. Also an activity area good kids.

The Canal Walk in Indy reminds me of the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. Beautiful walk area where you can do jogging or simple stroll. There is a 17-foot waterfalls. There are a lot of activities around the area like biking, pedal boat, kayak or Gondola ride. You have to make reservations to take a gondola ride. Also, you can bring some bread and crumb it so you can feed the ducks and geese in the area. Also, the Indiana State Museum is along the Canal Walk with 5 minutes distance. There is also a close by childrens park. We walked the whole area from one end to the other and discovered a remembrance of military heroes and paintings and architecture under the bridge. Great place for families or even for dates!

There is nothing to Not Like in here. The only downside for me was, getting there. We parked on road side and then walked to get there. Once we reached, the place did not disappoint even a bit. The boating experience was very nice, we reached there late evening, and that setting was perfect to visit this place. The setting sun was looking gorgeous on the water, stopped our boat, enjoyed the view and while paddling back, also saw nice lighting which they had put up. Overall this is a really nice cozy place to visit with your family or loved ones.

This is a really nice walk. We truly enjoyed the ducks and the obscene amount of electric scooters that were thrown into the Canal. The boat and family life rentals made for fun and a very exciting obstacle course while walking.

Paddle boats were fun. But the young lady (cashier) at the stand was hateful towards an elderly couple. She was very mean to a couple that requested a life vest and even made fun of them to their faces bu laughing hysterically smh

The Canal Walk is one of our favorite places! A wonderful oasis in the middle of the city to take a walk, enjoy the views along the waterway. There are several water features, benches and stretches of grass along the way that you can take advantage of to relax. Plenty of space to safely social distance. We stopped for an Italian ice at Frescos, visited the memorial for the USS Indianapolis today.

What a wonderful asset for Indy! The Canal Walk provides miles of well-maintained recreation space right at the heart of downtown, with colorful murals, historic markers and art installations that all complement the canal. It’s a destination unto itself and also offers easy, protected pedestrian access to museums, restaurants and cafes.

There is a parking lot connected to White River State Park that we parked at for 8.00 for 3 hrs. It was plenty of time to walk the whole canal and the park. It is worth it. There is a variety of things to do and see along the canal.

BEAUTIFUL in the summer time. My family is from fort Wayne and we were visiting Indy and figured wed kill some time here without spending money. We loved it. Well probably go back and walk down the canal every summer. My kids were blown away by the gondolas (one guy operating a gondola was singing for the cute couple taking a ride).It would be dreamy to live in one of the apartments along the canal.

What a really beautiful location. All kinds of things to do down along the canal. Some very beautiful Parks, lots of memorials, and lots of people and bands down along the canal. The Congressional Medal of honors Memorial is there, and the memorial to the USS Indianapolis. All kinds of beautiful Parks down along the canal, the Military Park was particularly beautiful and open. A very enjoyable place to kill an afternoon, and enjoy some fresh air and sunshine.

Nice walk thats best enjoyed on sunny days. The walk goes through the IUPUI campus, people could be seen enjoying canoeing and pedal boating. Gandolas can be rented to goes through the canal. Bikes are also available alongside the canal for $1 for each 15mns. Overall great place to enjoy for individuals, families and couples .

The Indianapolis Canal Walk is a long sidewalk next to the Indiana Central Canal in #DowntownIndy.Along the ICW you will find beautiful plants, flowers, bushes, as well as good-looking men and women.There are also expensive condominiums, as well as luxurious houses, and restaurants along itself.The ICW is a beautiful path to walk, whether youre looking to indulge in beautiful spring scenery, a nature walk, want to meet someone, or just want to have a good dinner.Recommend 100%! :-)

Amazing place to walk, bike, it just hang out. Makes it easy to get to some parts of downtown by foot while bypassing roadways. I only wish there was more to do on the canal itself, such as shops and restaurants, rather than the majority simply being residences and hotels.
