The Cardinal Greenway is a multi-use trail that crosses five counties in eastern Indiana. The trail follows a former CSX railbed between Richmond, Indiana and Marion, Indiana. It is named after the Cardinal, the last remaining regular passenger train service on the Chicago-Cincinnati-Washington route. Currently, it is the longest rail trail in Indiana.
