Step by step, the National Road Heritage Trail (NRHT) is stretching across America providing a living tribute to the road that made westward settlement possible. Hendricks County Parks and Recreation has partnered with the Hendricks County Trail Association to maintain three-mile Vandalia Trail that connects Amo to Coatesville and in the future, extend the trail across the county.  Ultimately the trail is envisioned to be part of the National Road Heritage Trail stretch 150 miles from Terre Haute to Richmond using the former Pennsylvania and Vandalia rail corridors (where possible) and closely follow the Historic National Road for much of its route.

Trail enthusiasts may access trailheads in Amo or Coatesville and enjoy biking, hiking, or running along one of Hendricks County’s most beautiful and natural trails.  Trailhead locations can be found on the county-wide recreation page.
