The Greenway (Perfect for Everyone) 🌿
Think of the Pigeon Creek Greenway as the backbone of Evansville biking. Spanning about 13 fully paved miles, this trail is completely beginner-friendly and totally kid-approved. It seamlessly connects downtown with local parks and surrounding neighborhoods. It is the perfect starting point to enjoy a breezy family ride or just a stroller-friendly path on a gorgeous Saturday.
Ride a Little to Grab a Latte
Need to fuel up? The downtown coffee loop is calling your name. Start downtown, pedal over to Haynie’s Corner, cruise the riverfront, and loop right back. With over 30 miles of dedicated routes and bike lanes, you can easily stop-hop between local coffee shops, bakeries, and even a brewery or two. It is a fantastic way to turn a quick spin into a happy hour by handlebars.
Roll into Newburgh for a Riverfront Rendezvous
If you want to impress a date or capture some gorgeous sunset photos, point your tires toward the Warrick County trailways. Taking the riverfront trails straight down the charming Rivertown Trail offers unmatched views of the Ohio River. Don't forget to stop for brunch in downtown Newburgh! It is easily one of the most underrated scenic rides in Southern Indiana.
Unplug for an Under-the-Canopy Cruise
Sometimes you just need to unplug and soak in some outdoor therapy under the canopy. The USI-Burdette National Recreation Trail serves up serious woodland vibes. If you want something shorter, the Eagle Slough nature loop offers a peaceful, quiet ride. These paths are perfect for an afternoon reset or catching the best flora and fauna in the area.
