I love the bike path being available in this small town

Wabash Cannonball Trail

genuinely terrible for long ride

January, 2026 by elenakramer.ohio

The first 15ish miles are paved and then almost EVERYTHING after that is stone and mud and dirt and you are in the middle of nowhere. Now, I could have done more research but I was not prepared to have to cut through random properties and factories to continue the trail. We had to cross a live railroad just to stay on track. The majority of the view is just cornfield. There are also not many places to stop for food or bathrooms or anything. You cut through wauseon, which has some places, but other than that there isn’t a lot. Anyways- I’m traumatized!

Fort Wayne trail

Love this trail! Only thing I do not like is going thru downtown. A lot of shady people! Other than that!! Great trail and Eagle Marsh is the best!

Fishing Line Trail (Noble)

How Long is It?

August, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This site says that the trail is 7 miles (one way), but my bike computer said it was only 5+ (one way), so does anybody know?

Anyway, this is a decent trail with some rough pavement near the Kendallville trailhead but is still pretty good.

Erie Rail Trail

Ok

August, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

A decent trail but with nothing to see/do.

Fishing Line Trail (Noble)

Beautiful Peaceful Trail Well Maintained

August, 2025 by kirch5803

The trail was amazing. It was very well kept and clean with restrooms available. Most of the trail was fully wooded and all of the trail was hard surface . Highly recommend this trail!!!

Iron Horse River Trail

Great Year-Round Trail

July, 2025 by motter.kb

I enjoy walking and riding my bike on both the paved and unpaved portions of the trail. Great river views with Deer, Fox, Turkey and Eagle among other wildlife. The Williams County Veterans Memorial is a very short distance from the east entrance to the trail on the fairgrounds and well worth the extra ride.

Rieke Park Trail

Short but Ok

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

There's nothing to see except some sports fields, a pond, and crops, and with a short round trip, I might skip it if you're not local.

St. Joseph River Greenway

Ok

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

There's lots of shade on this one, with statues lining the entrance to the trail and the Joseph River is always in sight.

The trail itself has a lot tight twists and turns early on before straightening out and the pavement is pretty rough, with bumps and cracks throughout.

I would only recommend this one to locals, and maybe only walk it.
