Northeast Indy.

Fall Creek corridor with Fort Harrison State Park and old-school Pendleton Pike eats.

The lowdown

Northeast Indy follows Fall Creek out from the city toward Lawrence. The big draw is Fort Harrison State Park, 1,700 acres on a former Army post, with trails, fishing, a dog park and a golf course. Closer in, Skiles Test Nature Park ties into the Fall Creek Greenway. Pendleton Pike and 30th Street carry decades-old local favorites. Housing runs from mid-century ranches to newer subdivisions.

Our top 5

Five things we love in Northeast Indy.

  1. Fort Harrison State Park

    Walk the paved Harrison Trace Trail or the hillier Lawrence Creek Trail, then let the dog loose at the fenced dog park.

    State park

  2. Skiles Test Nature Park

    80-plus wooded acres off Fall Creek Road. A loop takes about 45 minutes, and a spur hops onto the Greenway.

  3. His Place Eatery

    Chef James Jones' original eastside spot. Order the fried chicken and hickory-smoked rib tips with bourbon creamed corn.

    Soul food

  4. Heidelberg Haus Café & Bakery

    A Pendleton Pike institution since 1968. Grab Black Forest cake or a pretzel and count the gnomes.

  5. Café Audrey at Fort Ben

    Breakfast on the old Army post. Go for biscuits and gravy or cinnamon roll pancakes before hitting the trails.
