Running along a former rail corridor, the Honey Creek Trail connects three of Middletown’s parks, including Dietrich Park, and passes through the community of Honey Creek in the Fall Creek Township. Almost entirely off-road, this trail provides increased connections between local communities and additional opportunities for alternative modes for both recreation and commuting. Moving through the fields and forests of the Indiana landscape, it's possible to see far in the distance under the wide open sky.
Heading southeast from its northern trailhead on Mechanicsburg Road, the smooth paved trail stays flat as it travels through Middletown to County Rd 600W. There is a brief on-road segment (.65 miles) that runs south to Country Rd 700N, where the off-road portion of the trail picks up again. Continuing southeast of Honey Creek, the trail ends at Country Road 600N. The trail is currently 5.27 miles of asphalt, which includes a .65-mile on-road segment.
Parking is available behind the City Building in Middletown and on Spruce Street in Honey Creek.
The trail itself is lovely, mostly through farm fields and along a creek/ravine, with new asphalt and signage, and a crossing light at the busiest intersection. That being said, the trail is not complete as Illustrated in the map. The section bordered by N CR 600 W and W CR 700 N was not paved and is actually fenced-off. It appears that the land owners were unwilling to sell this to the trail association, Healthy Communities of Henry County. Also, there are no specified trailheads for parking and no port-o-pots.
