Nickel Plate Rail Bikes
Prepare for an adventure unlike any other as Nickel Plate Heritage Railroad introduces Nickel Plate Railbikes, the only of its kind in the state! Launching in late May, these quad bicycles offer a novel way to traverse the historic Nickel Plate Road directly on the rails.
Pedal-powered and following existing rail lines, tours range from 45 minutes to two hours. Glide north to the Devin Wye or south to downtown Noblesville, experiencing the beauty of the Nickel Plate Road in a whole new way!
Adults up to 6’4” and children of all ages may railbike. All children under age 16 must be accompanied by an adult. All riders must be secured safely in a seat of their own. Infants under the age of two may ride strapped security to an adult in an infant carrier. Excursions are accompanied by trained staff members. The railroad does not operate on the line during railbike periods.
Rail bike rides will depart on select days during scheduled excursions. Space and times are limited so reservations are highly recommended.
