Battle Creek Linear Park

bladder buster

April, 2026 by benttandem

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.

Nice trail

My wife and I use this scenic trail to divert off of the Pumpkinvine to shop and enjoy a great breakfast at Essenhaus.

Kalamazoo River Valley Trail

Okay but Hilly

You'll be taken through urban and nature on this trail, with some road biking required.

MapleHeart Trail

A connector, not a great recreational path

March, 2026 by rregovich

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.

Link Trail

Urban Trail

February, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

Its only real use is to link up with Notre Dame University.

Krebs Trailhead Park

Ok

November, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

If you're not a local, I would skip this one. Not a bad trail, but there's nothing here to recommend either.

Monroe Street Trail

Okay, but not really worth it

November, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

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!

Would love for them to keep going with this trail! Love it! Please put street signs where we stop! That would be great

Pumpkinvine Nature Trail

Fabulous!!!

November, 2025 by sfoxwpb

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.
