Indiana Central Canal, Historic waterway in Indianapolis, United States.
The Indiana Central Canal extends three miles through downtown Indianapolis with paths on both sides for recreational activities and transportation.
The canal construction began in 1836 as part of a $3.5 million project to connect the Wabash and Erie Canal to the Ohio River.
The canal corridor incorporates the Indianapolis Zoo, Eiteljorg Museum, and White River State Park, forming a central cultural district.
Visitors can rent paddle boats or bicycles along the canal, with multiple entry points and connections to public transportation throughout Indianapolis.
The canal provides water for the Indianapolis municipal system since 1904, when the Water Company established a purification plant.
