Indiana (northern route)
Ohio State Line to Marion

The northern route crosses flat, glaciated topography. This part of Indiana is noted for its large grain farms, reservoirs and lakes, state parks, and wildlife areas. Much of the trail in the northwest is on back roads, but there are over 60 miles of greenway trails in the east-central part of the state. From the east the ADT's northern route enters Indiana just south of Richmond where it utilizes the Whitewater River Gorge Trail as a connector to the 57- mile-long Cardinal Greenway (the longest private greenway in existence). The Cardinal Greenway passes through Muncie before ending at Marion where it is but a short hop to the Sweetser Switch (another greenway).

Marion to Illinois State Line

After passing by Mississinewa Reservoir and the Frances Slocum State Recreation Area, the trail goes on to the city of Peru, which was once the winter home of many circuses and now features a fine circus museum. Lake Manitou, Tippecanoe River State Park, Bass Lake State Beach, Jasper-Pulaski State Fish and Wildlife Area (where you may see migrating sandhill cranes), and LaSalle State Fish and Wildlife Area round out the northern route through Indiana.
