Central Canal (EAST of West Street and NORTH to 11th Street)
United States / Indianapolis, Indiana
Location ID: #10010265
Central Canal was dug in the early 1800s, in an effort to facilitate interstate commerce. Today, the refurbished Canal Walk (stretching three miles north through White River State Park to 11th Street) serves the downtown community as a waterside promenade for walkers, runners, bikers and sightseers (while the canal itself includes a steady stream of pedal boats, which may be rented west of the Indiana State Museum).
