The Battle Creek linear park was very disappointing. Many parts of the trail have wide cracks across the width every 10 feet. If you do not have a flat tire bike this is very jarring. There are also no water or restroom stops on the entire length. And no directional signage or mile markers. There are several areas that are quite hilly. The only reason we gave it a two star instead of a one was there were a couple miles along the river that were smooth and very pleasant.
Love this trail! Very beautiful, just wished it was longer
You'll be taken through urban and nature on this trail, with some road biking required.
Path effectively connects Elkhart with the Pumpkinvine trail in Goshen, safely. But this is not a particularly beautiful or fun ride.
We rode in late March, and path was debris covered the whole way, and the ride is always within a few feet of a fast moving road.
It is safe and flat and is a great way to get from Elkart to Goshen or the reverse, but not worth making a special effort to travel to for a recreational ride. You're better off driving to Goshen and riding Pumpkinvine from there.
If you're not a local, I would skip this one. Not a bad trail, but there's nothing here to recommend either.
It's an okay trail, but unless you're using it to get to the fairgrounds or Pumpkinvine, I might not bother.
What a fabulous trail! Loved seeing all the rural Amish farms along the way. We were even able to eat lunch at an Amish Cafe along the trail!
Beautiful!!! You even ride by the animals! One of the best so far!
Would love for them to keep going with this trail! Love it! Please put street signs where we stop! That would be great
I went on two walks while visiting my mom in Topeka, this trail is beautiful and exactly what I needed. The first walk started in Shipshewanna (spelling?), my second walk I start at the parking lot located off of CR43. I look forward to more walks on future visits.
