The longest new section to date of the Monon South Trail is now open in Borden, Indiana.
It’s five-and-a-half miles long and has both paved and crushed stone surfaces. It goes from the west end of Borden to Deam Lake Road, near Deam Lake State Recreation Area.
“With the opening of this newest section of the Monon South Trail, we’re looking forward to welcoming more visitors to Deam Lake State Recreation Area,” said Maddy Conner, DNR chief of staff in a press release. “Next Level Trails is all about connecting people to the outdoors and important destinations, and we’re excited to see this new link added through the Monon South.”
Previous sections of the trail were opened in Mitchell and Orleans. The Monon South Trail now has more than 9 miles of trail open to the public.
The trail is part of the state’s Next Level Trails initiative. Fourty-three of the 89 trail projects are complete so far. Several are under construction now, with many more slated to break ground this year.
