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.
Traveled from Pennsylvania to ride this trail since we found out about it on TrailLink. We stayed at a local hotel. Trail is paved the entire length from Goshen to Shipshewana. A local told me they just finished paving the last crushed stone section. Trail goes through a few small towns which offers services. We ate lunch in Middlebury. Shipshewana offers many great shops and restaurants. This is in an Amish community. Small hill at mile 2.5. Most of the scenery is flat and open through farms but there are a few wooded sections of the trail as well. Worth driving 5 hours to get to and making it a getaway. Trail was busy for a Saturday but not crowded. Friendly folks along the way. We were lucky to have such great weather too!
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.
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.
This one should be avoided, as with frequent road crossings and nothing to see, you are going to spend almost all of your time in a urban, neighborhood setting.
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.
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.
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.
The parts of the trail not on Ravine Rd seem great. Sure, the downtown route is a bit tricky but they have center lines to mark the bike path now along arcadia creek and the festival site, etc. My real complaint is they were not able to find a solution for nearly a couple of miles along Ravine Rd, other than a small segment on the property of Kalamazoo Public School Transportation, where someone on inline skates or a small bike could enjoy a small break from a narrow bike lane. Is that what they hoped they would be able to do all along that side, but only the Kalamazoo owned public transportation would agree to it, and the rest, you have to use a fairly narrow bike lane. The exception is that the last quarter mile or so, on the south side of Ravine before Douglas Ave, there is a really nice bike lane, with extra shoulder on the right of it. Why couldn't that have been extended further up? I have even used that against traffic when coming back before crossing over to the right side of the rd, because it is such a wider area than the bike lane on the north side of Ravine at that point. After all this time, it would have been nice if they found some options to improve that segment. The rest of it, I really like though!
This is such a lovely trail with beautiful views of farms, but also places to stop for snacks if you're into a more leisurely rides. You can make it longer by adding miles on the Greenway. Something for everyone!
We rode from Bailey Park west on the Linear trail to the end. While the surface was pretty good, the fact that there are several busy road crossings, no signs or maps, no water or restrooms, made this trail undesirable. What a shame that the city of Battle Creek doesn't spend a few bucks to make this trail top-notch.
