Little Buck Creek begins in mid-Franklin Township and flows west through Perry Township emptying into White River on Decatur Township’s eastern border. It lies along a conservation corridor, a designation that protects the land and trail from development yet allows for its use as a future greenway corridor.
The greenway got its start in 1999 when C. P. Morgan Homes developed two residential areas near State Road 37 and Banta Road as well as a 1.5-mile paved trail adjacent to the neighborhoods along Little Buck Creek. C. P. Morgan Homes later deeded the property and the paved trail to Indy Parks, which remains responsible for trail maintenance and development.
Due to a lack of connections to other trails, Little Buck Creek Greenway was the least used trail in the Indy Parks trail system. Despite this, Indy Parks identified the Little Buck Creek Greenway to become the dominant east-west greenway across the southern townships in its 2014-2024 Master Plan to create an 18.3-mile greenway connecting Southwestway Park to Southeastway Park, and a more ambitious 64-mile greenway circling all four corners of Indianapolis.
