Hamilton County (Indiana) multiuse trail enthusiasts got another link in their network recently as the local government opened the southernmost section of the Nickel Plate Trail through southern Fishers. Clocking in at just over eight miles, the paved trail extends northward from a spot just north of 96th Street to Noblesville. The south end awaits construction of a safe crossing of 96th Street into Indianapolis, terminating behind a 24-hour veterinary clinic. At the north end, the trail slams head-on into the construction known as the Pleasant Street Reimagination.

EDITED 11/15/23: The trail now extends all the way through along 8th street, skirting roundabouts at Vine and Mulberry Streets. As of 7 November, the Midland Trace was still inaccessible; although the White River Trail was open as far south as Division Street. Construction continues.
