Kal-Haven Trail State Park

Hard packed stone

June, 2023 by frankieoengine

We parked at the SP going west, it’s downhill for a few miles. Much of the crushed stone is like pavement, a few sandy spots. Riding a tandem going 10 miles each way. A nice ride with some history and much shade.The last few miles coming back are up hill,a bit tough but a good trail. Frankie

Battle Creek Linear Park

Nice safe trail

June, 2023 by frankieoengine

Started at Linear Carpark going east taking the loop around the city. Don’t pay attention to the old reviews! This trail is fine, a bit bumpy to start, some has new blacktop. Two short detours, be sure to follow, but otherwise a great trail, safe easy to follow. We did 13 miles, Frankie

Too Much Traffic

Van Buren Trail State Park

not a rail-to-trail

June, 2023 by nowlinco

Just awful! Caught it south of Covert and quickly abandoned it. Chose to use the county roads.

Pumpkinvine Nature Trail

Great Trail.

May, 2023 by ky1

Rode the route from Shipshewana to Middlebury (and back) and found it to be a great ride with beautiful views. Would ride this again and would recommend.

MapleHeart Trail

disappointed

May, 2023 by ky1

Rode the Pumpkinvine trail the previous day and this was night and day with Mapleheart Trail being very disappointing. Literally riding with trains (blasting their horns) on one side and a highway on the other side. Would not recommend for anyone.

Kal-Haven Trail State Park

just okay

May, 2023 by lyonsjustin1958

63 year old couple. We biked from Gober west 12 miles and back. It was more of a two track road most of the way. A few soft patches and rough spots snuck up on us. But the rest was fairly smooth. After we rode we drove north to Cranes Pie and Pastry to try a pie flight. Worth the drive. We did not want to bike the other direction.

Great trail going through Eliason Nature Reserve. Almost all in a shaded greenway. Also has access to other nearby trails.

Pumpkinvine Nature Trail

Pumpkinvine Nature Trail

This trail is a national destination for anyone who loves biking. I've rode many great trails in seven states, and this one rates at the top. A long, or short ride is definitely worth the trip. As you can see from the many great photos a fall ride is the absolute best.

Northside Trail

South Bend Northside Trail

April, 2023 by carl.arelt

Being a local bike trail, I am so fortunate to have this so close to home.
This is one of several bike trails along the St. Joe River which are all connected.

Coal Line Trail

New Coal Line Trail

March, 2023 by carl.arelt

The first section of this trail opened the summer of 2022. It's the first of two sections that will be completed this year. A very pleasant but short trail on South Bend's west side.
Can't wait till it's completed.
