Potter's Bridge Park




Potter’s Bridge Park, located in Hamilton County Indiana, is a 66 acre park that features  about 6 miles of paved walking paths. The paths run along the White River and the park features the only remaining covered bridge in the county. Along the trail there are benches and seating - roughly every quarter mile - that offer a great spot for a scenic respite or solitary meditation.


We observed that this is one of the better areas to hike on the Northeast side of Indianapolis and is children, cycling, and pet friendly. According to the park’s website there is a canoe launch located within the park as well, but we were out-of-season during our initial visit and made no observation of watersport.


The park didn’t charge admission for entry and there is a parking lot conveniently at both ends of the trail. We started at the trailhead by Potter’s Bridge at which there was both parking and restrooms. The end of the trail connects with Forrest Park which is another great Noblesville facility.

If you are taking pets, please remember to take your “accident bags” with you. There is a bin at the start and end of the trail - typically with bags provided - but only sparsely stationed in between.
