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!
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.
This a good workout experience if you are walking instead of biking.
Very enjoyable ride from Whitmore Lake to Pinckney. Some of the nicest scenery in the area. Can’t wait to go again.
My husband and I have ridden this Trail several times and, in our opinion, it is top rated! We drive an hour to get there and it's well worth it. Also great places to eat, wonderful atmosphere, and very kind people.
First 2 miles from the north to the south are very bad! Water puddles and torn up asphalt. My wife had an accident when she was forced into the thicket. Do not recommend riding bike here. Never going back.!!
We have cycled in all 50 states and definitely feel this trail is in the top 5 of all our rides. Between the well marked and maintained path, the tree lanes and open fields, the simple lifestyle and presence of the Amish, this trail is a joy to experience. A must do!
Need street signs at the trails to see where you’re at!
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.
I went for an amazing bike ride on the Mike Levine Lakelands Trail on August 8th, 2025, starting early in the morning. I parked at the Village Trailhead since the far east end was under construction for a new roundabout. Once I was set up and ready to go, I headed west and rode almost all the way to Pinckney.
The trail is absolutely beautiful — smooth, peaceful, and full of variety. One of the best parts is how it weaves between so many lakes, giving you gorgeous views on either side as you ride. The scenery was incredible that morning, with blue skies and scattered clouds creating a perfect backdrop for the ride.
I can’t wait to come back and explore further west on my next trip. Whether you’re a casual rider or looking to put in some miles, this trail offers a perfect mix of nature, calm, and beauty. Highly recommended!
