Confirmed from Monon Trail Access' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Monon Trail Access
Absolutely love this access trail. I was riding my bike around the nearby neighborhood when I saw this access path. As I followed it I was surprised by all the natural growth around it. It really is a beautiful way to access the Monon...and there is a lake right by it.
This was fun for me. An great trail to ride your bike 🚲 or walk 🚶♂️. Great scenic route.
