Trail Connector, linking the two trails along a defunct railroad corridor. The trail is managed by Cardinal Greenway, Inc., formerly known as Delaware Greenways, Inc. The company is organized under federal tax regulations as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. Route See: Cardinal Greenway Map Cardinal Greenways is a private, not-for-profit organization that encompasses the Cardinal Greenway, White River Greenway, Historic Wysor Street Depot and Cardinal Equestrian Trail. The Cardinal Greenway is the longest rail-trail in Indiana and spans 62 miles from Marion through Muncie to Richmond in East Central Indiana. The trail starts in Richmond, travels through Wayne, Randolph, Henry, Delaware, and Grant counties, and ends in the town of Converse at the border between Grant and Miami Counties. The trail is asphalt paved the entire way. Richmond Section The trail begins with a section on the north side of Richmond. This is near the Whitewater River. This is the curviest segment of the former railroad corridor. The Cardinal Greenway then travels into the heart of Muncie, bisecting with Wysor Street Depot in the middle. Just to the north of the depot the Cardinal Greenway intersects the White River Greenway. The trail continues out of Muncie to Gaston. It is about from the depot to the trailhead in Gaston. Gaston-Jonesboro Gap An section of the former rail corridor, going from Gaston to Jonesboro and running through Fowlerton, is owned by private land owners. Cardinal Greenways, Inc. states that a route “will be chosen using public roads to connect the two sections of Cardinal Greenway.” IndianaTrails.org states that “[t]he county road route can be followed using Dan Henry-style pavement markers.” (Jonesboro-) Marion Section This section of the route is in length. The trail resumes in Jonesboro at East 10th Street. From there it travels along the Mississinewa River until it crosses US-35/IN-22. By East 4th Street in Jonesboro, there is a pedestrian bridge over the Mississinewa to the Eugene “Beaner” Linn Park, a park in Gas City. After crossing US-35/IN-22, the trail goes on into Marion, going by Hogin Park, through the short tunnel under South D Street, under “the bypass” (IN-9), and ending at South Miller Avenue. Beyond Marion Plans were announced on October 16, 2007, to expand the Cardinal Greenway west to the Sweetser Switch Trail in Sweetser, and perhaps eventually to Converse in Miami County. The trail is now (2022) joined to both Sweetser Switch and Converse Junction trail,
