Lenape Trace Park

A Piece of Tranquility

Tucked between Carmel and Indianapolis, Lenape Trace Park is a delightful 5-acre haven that's been offering a peaceful escape since 2001-2002. Though compact, this charming green space manages to pack in plenty of natural beauty without feeling cramped or overdeveloped.

If you're looking for a quiet spot to decompress from city life without venturing too far from civilization, this intimate space hits all the right notes.

Trails Worth Traveling

The real star of Lenape Trace is its 0.75-mile paved loop trail that seamlessly connects to the popular Monon Greenway. This makes the park a fantastic pit stop or starting point for longer adventures on foot or bike.

No matter if you're a dedicated morning jogger, casual afternoon stroller, or weekend cyclist, these well-maintained paths offer a smooth ride through scenic surroundings. The direct connection to the broader trail network means you can easily extend your journey into Indianapolis or other parts of Carmel when the mood strikes.

Simple Pleasures

Sometimes less is more, and Lenape Trace embraces this philosophy with its thoughtful amenities. The picnic shelter equipped with a grill creates a cozy spot for impromptu lunches or planned gatherings with friends and family.

The open green spaces invite you to spread out a blanket, toss a frisbee, or simply find a quiet patch of grass to read or meditate. There's a certain charm in the park's simplicity that encourages genuine relaxation.

A drinking fountain is available during warmer months, so you can stay hydrated during your visit. Just note that there are no restroom facilities on site, so plan accordingly.

Finding Your Way

Here's a helpful tip: despite what some maps might show, the main entrance isn't directly off Westfield Boulevard. You'll actually find it across from 1600 Wind Castle Trail.

Parking is available off Wind Castle Trail, making it easy to access even during busier times.

Though modest in size, Lenape Trace Park offers a serene retreat that feels connected to something larger - both literally through its trail system and figuratively as a peaceful respite in the midst of suburban life.
