State Road 13 in the U.S. State of Indiana is a north–south highway in north-central and central Indiana that connects the area east of Indianapolis with the northern part of the state. Its northern terminus is at the Michigan state line, although starting at the interchange with the Indiana Toll Road, where it feeds into U.S. Highway 131 just south of the Michigan state line, markers are no longer posted, and an "END" assembly exists; its southern terminus is in Fortville, Indiana, where it meets U.S. Highway 36 and State Road 67. All of SR 13 is undivided surface road.

History

SR 13 used to extend into downtown Indianapolis until the 1940s. State Road 13 originated with an old Indian trail. This was part of the route that Eastern settlers, having crossed the lakes to Detroit, used after they disembarked to travel south into Indiana. In the early days, SR 13 was called the "Logansport-White Pigeon Road."
