Indiana · LOCAL MARKET GUIDE
Fishers, from the Depot to Flat Fork Creek Park
Downtown Fishers is the Nickel Plate District, and the Fishers District development sits near I-69 and 116th Street. Annexations in 2009 and 2025 added the Geist Reservoir area and a southeast section that reaches the Hancock and Madison county lines. Fishers also has a pedestrian tunnel under 116th Street, so trail users don't cross it at street level.
