Greenfield / Hancock County
In Hancock
County and eastward the favored route of the NRHT is the unused Pennsy
rail corridor, which closely parallels the National Road, on which a
trail is planned in Cumberland and an open trail exists in Greenfield.
(Map to be updated to show Greenfield Pennsy Trail extension and open trail in Henry County)
Open Trail
A 5.5-mile paved open trail exists across Greenfield.
Future Plans
Cumberland plans to develop the trail from German Church Road in Marion County to CR 600W in Hancock County. This would be the eastern end of the local Pennsy Trail system connected to Indy Greenways. Currently there are no plans to connect the trail to Henry County to the east, where a 10-mile trail is in the works beginning at Knightstown.
