Kalamazoo River Valley Trail

A great trail

August, 2025 by buysse1

A great ride on this beautiful trail. It’s a little tricky in Kalamazoo proper but other than that it’s very scenic, peaceful and well-maintained.

Kent Trail. July 19, 2025

July, 2025 by amy2paul

We got on at 15 Baldwin Street (near the water treatment plant) and rode 16 miles out and back for 32 total. Temp was perfect with pre rain clouds keeping us cool. Many parts of the trail go through wooded areas with great shade but you also ride on roads in business areas. Pay attention to signs because some of them are hard to notice and it is easy to get off the trail. Also they could do a better marking spots in the asphalt where cracks have formed.

Kalamazoo River Valley Trail

mixed review

July, 2025 by daenglish_tl

Parked at the Galesburg Augusta Primary school ¿ Meander from school to the trail ¿ Country like setting transitioned to a road-hugging trail¿ Riding alongside car traffic ¿ The trail was pretty smooth and the wildflowers were in bloom.

Interurban Trail (Allegan County)

Bad

July, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

The entire trail is very uneven throughout, rough, and with nothing to see, I would urge you either skip this trail or maybe walk it.

Upper Macatawa Greenway Trail

Nice

July, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This sunny trail has some slight hills and tight curves near the end, after taking you through dense woods and weed fields, so consider giving it a try.

Pumpkinvine Nature Trail

End to End beautiful trail and ride

June, 2025 by vicki1960

Traveled from Pennsylvania to ride this trail since we found out about it on TrailLink. We stayed at a local hotel. Trail is paved the entire length from Goshen to Shipshewana. A local told me they just finished paving the last crushed stone section. Trail goes through a few small towns which offers services. We ate lunch in Middlebury. Shipshewana offers many great shops and restaurants. This is in an Amish community. Small hill at mile 2.5. Most of the scenery is flat and open through farms but there are a few wooded sections of the trail as well. Worth driving 5 hours to get to and making it a getaway. Trail was busy for a Saturday but not crowded. Friendly folks along the way. We were lucky to have such great weather too!

LaSalle Trail

Good Tail

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It has a nice round trip, with mostly smooth pavement except by Roseland park, so maybe skip that section.

Mishawaka Riverwalk

Okay

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's an okay trail with a nice round trip, and some enjoyable sights.

Coal Line Trail

Very Nice

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

Nice and open to nature with a brief urban stint with not too many road crossings.

I would recommend this trail to anyone looking.

Northside Trail

Okay

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's mostly an urban trail, with not too much nature.

Geese were allover the place and so was their poop.

Good round trip though.

Elkhart River Greenway Trail

Pretty Good

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

Bird poop is common throughout this trail, especially by American Park, to the point you might want to only walk that segment instead of riding a bike.

Pavement is mostly smooth, though American Park turns into loose stone for a stretch, and overall scenery is good for the trail.

Portage Creek Bicentennial Trail

Good Trail

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

A good that's slightly marred by a brief urban stint, you'll thankfully spend most of your time in a nature setting with this route.

Mostly flat, you'll get both sun & shade with this trail, though sights are few.

You can also use this trail to link up with multiple other trails in Portage, including Millennium Trail, Lovers Lane Bikeway, Romence Road Bikeway, Shaver Road Bikeway, and Northwest Portage Bikeway.
