New Rail Bike Adventure Opens This Month in French Lick

A new outdoor attraction is opening this month in French Lick, giving visitors a completely different way to experience the rails.

Heritage Rail Bikes opens at the French Lick Scenic Railway this month, offering guided electric-assisted rail bike rides along the railroad tracks. Guests ride specially designed rail bikes built for the rails, with electric assist helping do the work along the route.

Riders pedal along the track, but thanks to the electric assist the effort is closer to a gentle, leisurely pedal while the motor helps move your group along. The result is a relaxed outdoor experience that combines fresh air, railroad scenery, and the novelty of riding directly on the tracks.

For families, couples, friends, and weekend visitors looking for something new to do in French Lick, Heritage Rail Bikes adds a fresh summer activity to the area.

So, What Exactly Is a Rail Bike?

A rail bike is a specially designed vehicle that rides directly on railroad tracks. There is no steering required — the rails guide the bike along the route while guests sit together and enjoy the ride.

Each bike seats up to four riders, making the experience easy to enjoy with family, friends, or a date. The ride is self-paced from start to finish, so guests can focus on the scenery, the experience, and the fun of doing something most people have never tried before without being rushed.

Opening Month Is the Best Time to Try It

There is something fun about being among the first to try a new local attraction.

Reservations are required, and popular ride times may fill quickly as more people hear about the new attraction.

Opening month gives riders the chance to say they experienced Heritage Rail Bikes right as it arrived in French Lick. Before it becomes the thing everyone has seen in photos. Before every friend group has talked about doing it. Before the best times are harder to grab.

If your summer needs something new, scenic, and actually worth talking about, this is your sign to get on board!
