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!

Pumpkinvine Nature Trail

Fabulous!!!

November, 2025 by sfoxwpb

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.

Nice ride and great scenery

October, 2025 by terrytof

Very enjoyable ride from Whitmore Lake to Pinckney. Some of the nicest scenery in the area. Can’t wait to go again.

Pumpkinvine Nature Trail

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.

Kiwanis Trail

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.!!

Pumpkinvine Nature Trail

Top 5

September, 2025 by pedalpushinllka

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!

Pufferbelly Trail

Street signs

September, 2025 by 4hz57q9p7c

Need street signs at the trails to see where you’re at!

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.
