Trail was ok. Accessed by Beverly shores train station and headed toward Chesterton first. First section was Ricky but not bad. Beyond that there were many areas of pooling water that nearly spanned the trail in many places. Just be aware of that. From BS train station toward Mich city it was again initially rocky terrain but rideable. Beyond that it connected to the next trail. I don’t recall the name of that one. That one was paved and great. The rocky areas also have tall grass. (Think two track). All in all we enjoyed the ride but just be aware it can be a bit mushy in spots. have fairly tw grasshave.
We just completed the trail. What a Gem!!! Extremely smooth!!!!
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.
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.
It's an okay trail, but unless you're using it to get to the fairgrounds or Pumpkinvine, I might not bother.
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.
