I was there with my 19-year-old son in July and we felt very safe. We walked for a long time during the afternoon and we never had problems or felt uncomfortable about anything. I hope you enjoy the canal and Indianapolis as much as we do. One of the best places in the center to run, no matter the time of day.
It's safe, quiet, and uninterrupted by traffic on a nearly 2-mile circuit. The Canal Walk serves the downtown community as a waterside walk for walkers, runners, cyclists and tourists, while the canal itself includes a steady stream of pedal boats. I'm from Los Angeles, CA, I feel that Indianapolis is not a good place to experience crime, violence, the bad boy, summer, being turned on. I prefer to be in California, it's boring, there's nothing to do in Indianapolis, I prefer to be in Las Vegas.
