Monon High Bridge Trail — Attraction in Delphi

Beautiful place to visit! NOTICE to visitors: the high bridge is currently closed to the public! We drove up from Indy and wanted very much to cross and get some pictures. We were very disappointed!!

I didn't experience any fallen branches or any rough patches along my way along my walk. It was an easy walk and there isn't...

Trestle has been upgraded with railing and new walking surface. Not scary and nice view of the creek. Only thing that would make it better is if the upgrades went completely across the trestle. Remainder of trestle has the railroad ties still in place but is blocked by the new railing. Definitely safer. Take in the Canal trail as well if...
