Good trail to get a workout on and also to take family on. We use it as a destination trail when the family goes along. Only a coulple blocks from trail head in Porter there is a nice mexican restaurant, Santiago's and a DQ.. Then work it off on the way back to Hobart.

One of the most pleasant and scenic trails we've experienced so far! Nice long ride and a great workout. The bridge over Route 149 is especially challenging. We found Wagner's Rib joint in Porter as a refuel rest stop before trekking back to Hobart; a wonderful way to enjoy an Indian Summer afternoon and rack up a 20 mile trip.

I ran the from the east trailpoint (Chesterton) 7 of the 10 miles yesterday. That portion of the trail was bone dry. No flooding issues.

Good news to those that like the Praire-Duneland Trail....they are widening Rt 6 and it looks like they are taking the trail under the new road just like they did at Willowcreek Road....The trail is such a wonderful place to get in your daily exercise and it is quite peaceful and pleasant...it is the best place in Portage,In

"This is a great leisurely trail, although Route 6 in Portage needs an overpass. I have waited up to ten minutes to cross there."

"Compared to other states I've ridden in, Indiana needs to do a lot of work to develop a trail system! The Prairie Duneland is by far the best Indiana has. It really is a nice trail with smooth surfaces for the most part. Crossing US 6 can be tricky so keep a close eye on traffic. One bridge and one tunnel help cross two other busy streets though.
The trail can be quite busy on the weekends, and some folks don't always follow trail etiquette so serious riders need to watch out when passing.
I see a lot of bladers using this trail -- I'm anxious to learn myself!"

"I take this trail from Chesterton to the Lake Co. line at least once a month -- my odometer says it's closer to ten miles, full-blown. It's an easy and safe twenty mile roundtrip with lots of nice folks along the way. A lot of backyards open up into this trail with some homeowners constructing pretty little private gateways out of their yards and into the trail. There are prairie flowers planted on both sides and all along the way; tree and shrub greenbelts to hide noises and lend privacy to some homeowners; water fountains, information kiosks, benches for resting, and restrooms in two different places. It's newly paved and has a bridge and a tunnel crossing two heavily traveled roads, but there needs to be two more. This is very pretty little trail, friendly, too!"
