next level trails

The new section is five-and-a-half miles long, near the Deam Lake State Recreation Area.

The proposed state budget for 2025-2027 does not allocate any funding to the Next Level Trails program.

The first section of the Monon South Trail is now open, running over a mile from Stetson Street to Freeman’s Corner in the town of Orleans.

The new asphalt trail runs nearly a mile along the White River near Spencer.

The state's Next Level Trails program has awarded $150 million since it launched in 2018, with another $30 million set to be awarded this year.
