The Pennsy Trail is a shared-use path that stretches between Greenfield, Indiana, and Ellenberger Park in the Irvington neighborhood in Indianapolis. The trail runs along a railbed of the Pennsylvania Railroad, from which the trail gets its name.

The trail is divided into two sections, a 6.7-mile (10.8 km) western section which runs through Indianapolis and Cumberland, and a 5.5-mile (8.9 km) eastern section that runs through Greenfield. As of 2025. The only remaining gap between the eastern and western sections is a 1-mile (1.6 km) stretch between county roads 300W and 150W in Hancock County. ^[1]

History

The first section of the trail was completed in 1998 between Center Street and Morristown Pike in Greenfield. The rest of the Greenfield section was completed between 2002 and 2009. ^[2]
