After parking at Gene Stratton Porter, we headed into Kendallville, and then rode back to Rome City. Even though not listed on the app, there is a section of new trail completed, a nice parking parea and a repair station at Gaff Park in Rome City. We followed the trail through the park down past the boat ramp and up to the business district. It was a great ride with restaurants at both ends of the trail
The trail is very narrow all throughout, so if you encounter a another bike rider, there's not a whole lot of room of maneuver in, so be careful.
It's also a bit rough until you get south of E Van Buren st, where it does get nice and smooth.
Great little trail! would like to know when the section across cr 900 N are going to be open?
Rode today from Shipshiwanna to Goshen and I highly recommend this trail. Completely asphalt until the very end in Goshen. Beautiful country side with local farms, farm smells and a creamy adjacent of the trail - but it was closed. Enjoyed it very much.
Bike ran me over even though I went in the grass on the right. We have hiked numerous of paths from the Rocky Mountains to Alaska. Runners and bikes have always passed on the left and given some type of warning. The biker rang his bell and then plowed into the back of me. He hit so hard that he had to put his 10 speed bike together.
While it has an excellent round trip if you the whole trail (including backtracking), the pavement is in rough shape with very few portions being smooth, you're alongside traffic for long segments, and some of it set in urban settings, you might want to choose a different trail altogether.
The only drinking fountain that I came across is by a baseball field by Brooks St. & Garfield Ave.
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
My wife and I use this scenic trail to divert off of the Pumpkinvine to shop and enjoy a great breakfast at Essenhaus.
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.
