Pufferbelly Trail

one of the best!

Fort Wayne trail

November, 2025 by rainingcrackers101

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!

Erie Rail Trail

Ok

August, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

A decent trail but with nothing to see/do.

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.

Fishing Line Trail (Fort Wayne)

Not Worth It

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

There's nothing to see or do here, and with such a short round trip, I advise skipping this one.

Pufferbelly Trail

Pretty Good

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This trail is an excellent choice if you're local, (or willing to travel) for anyone who wants a good trail. It's a little bit hilly, a mix of sun and shade, pavement is pretty smooth and with an great round trip, the only real downside is the frequent road crossings, some of which might require you to get off your bike and walk across.

I would definitely recommend this trail to those looking.

Iron Horse River Trail

Ok

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

Split into two sections, one paved and the other wooded with packed dirt, it's a decent trail but nothing special.

The first part is completely paved with not a single bump or crack that I saw, and the second is the wooded part that's a bit rougher though with a better view of the St. Joseph's River.

DeKalb County Trail

new asphalt

May, 2025 by deb.mihalec

Widen and new asphalt!! You can park at the old greenhurst golf course. Plus, ride through the old golf course, and also ride through Rieke Park.

Warrior Trail

Nice

March, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

A nice trail thought there isn’t anything to see expect endless cornfields.
