B&O Trail Association
and the Hendricks County Trail Development Association
 After months of power-washing, priming, painting and sealing, the B&O Trail tunnel under Ronald Reagan Parkway (just south of 300 North), has been transformed from a den of profane and vulgar graffiti to a showcase of local artistic talent. Thanks to several artists--from elementary art students to local art teachers--as well as help from the Town of Avon and a grant from the Hendricks County Community Foundations, we were able to make this a beautiful attraction for users of the trail. While this tunnel is currently the terminus of the western leg of the trail, this location will eventually be a hub of activity, connecting the B&O to the planned north-south path along the Parkway from Brownsburg to Plainfield. Opportunities remain for artists who would like to add their creativity to the project. Please email

B&O Trail Receives Award
The B&O Trail was recognized for outstanding progress at this past month's Mid-America Trails and Greeways Conference in Fort Wayne. The conference organizers awarded one trail from each of nine mid-western states with this distinction and presented the Trail Association with a walking stick hand-made by Bob Kiel of Fort Wayne. Our trail efforts are paying off as we continue to expand and garner recognition. A third tunnel is currently being installed under Girls School Road south of 21st St. to accommodate future development of the trail in Marion County.
Wabash Days Project
The men of the Hendricks County Wabash College Alumni Association recently completed their fourth community project in support of the B&O Trail. This year's work created a walking path connecting the trail near Raceway Road to the Wynbrooke community. Thanks go out to Dave Jackson, B&O board member and Wabash Alum, for once again organizing this project. And thanks to all the men and their families for your continued support!
