Great Rides: Fall Creek Parkway

It's great to escape out into the country, far from civilization to explore some twisty roads on a motorcycle. But this route shows that sometimes you can find some motorcycling fun even in an urban or suburban setting.

This route begins on the Northeast side of Indianapolis, at the 56th Street / Fall Creek exit off I-465. It explores Fall Creek Road to Emerson, then connects to Fall Creek Parkway and follows it all the way to Binford Blvd. A short jaunt on Binford Blvd serves as a turn around point, a jog east on 46th street to reconnect with Fall Creek Parkway. From there it retraces its steps up Fall Creek Parkway, this time crossing Emerson and following Fall Creek Parkway back almost to our starting point where it rejoins Fall Creek Road.

The route mostly follows Fall Creek. The best part of the route is Fall Creek Parkway, which follows close by the river with a greenway park on one side, and homes on the other. Speed limits are low but there's not much traffic. And it's beautiful route.
