your choice, walk/jog around the canal and its largely residential surroundings. In good weather take a pedalo out on the water More

My brother took my family to the canal. We did the pedel boat. We had a great time. This is a must see in Indy. Children will enjoy this site. Overall great place to visit and relax. More

Indy...you blew it. You took a wonderful, splendiferous idea and managed to turn it into a disappointment. Don't get me wrong, the canal is actually quite nice - better than the ditch that once existed there. And the development along the canal is better than blight. HOWEVER...

You can walk,run, paddle boat etc at the canal. Great time out in warm weather. More
