A great local trail along the Wabash River. Ideal for long walks or any-length runs! The trail goes all the way to Prophetstown State Park or the Davis Ferry bridge which would be a 9 mile round trip. The first 3 miles are smooth pavement, and the next 2.5 miles are rocky, sandy and peaceful! Great views of Indiana farmland and the Wabash river. Lots of historical notes along the way too. So many local species of animals that are ready to greet you 🐦🐿️

Nice trail to walk along. Relatively well maintained and clean. I went for a walk in late July around 8pm and there were a ton of mosquitos so wear/bring bug spray.

Great place in to hike in the Lafayette area! It can get super muddy. Bring a good pair of boots or old tennis shoes. The trail is not a loop, so pay attention to your mileage/time as well. My favorite places to start are at the Battlefield and Davis Ferry. Tapawingo (toward Davis Ferry) is nice too!

Reviews

The Wabash Heritage Trail is a local favorite, offering a mix of smooth pavement and rocky, sandy paths with great views of Indiana farmland and the Wabash River. Along the trail, hikers can enjoy historical notes, encounter various local species of animals, and even spot eagles flying overhead. While it's ideal for long walks or runs up to Prophetstown State Park or Davis Ferry bridge, visitors should be prepared for muddy conditions after rains or snow melt.
