I don't know why it's called the River Valley trail since most of it goes right next to the highway, with only occasional views of a river and no valley to be seen. We rode 20 miles starting in Galesburg. The first couple of miles were scenic, through a wooded area but the next 10 miles were along the highway - BORING AND UGLY. When we got to Kalamazoo, we found several detours because of unsafe bridges. That forced us to cross busy highways. While the trail surface was mostly good, the location of the trail was terrible.
Nice, straight trail. Plenty of places for parking and amenities in each town. I wish it were paved all the way through, but in general the crushed limestone isn't a huge obstacle between towns. Highly recommend!
It's way too short with nothing to see or do, so unless you're trying to jump on Lovers Lanes path or Portage Creek Bicentennial Park, I honestly wouldn't bother.
The scenery for the waterfront portion is breathtaking but be cautious when going down the pier as water can potentially knock you over into the water.
As you get to N 3rd Street, the waterfront disappears completely and turns into a bland urban setting, so unless you're have OCD about completing the full trail (like me), you might want to stay by the water entirely.
The trail gets pretty unimpressive in its final segment, with the asphalt being very rough.
I assume the pavement by the waterfront is smooth but since it's buried under a foot of sand, it's hard to tell, lol.
TL:DR, stick to the waterfront portion for max enjoyment.
This trail is a bit hilly so you might want to keep your bike in a low gear for the duration. To off set this the entire trail is perfectly smooth.
Animal farms are present throughout the trail so the smell of dung is a possibility.
Car traffic is also a regular presence you have to put up with.
Blind, tight curves also are a common feature, so keep your wits about you.
But all in all, I thought this was a good trail, and recommend it to anyone interested.
It's a quick journey through farmland and some wetlands. There isn't much too see here but I found that I enjoyed my time here and would return here again in the future.
It's a quick 3 mile trip start to finish.
It's nice and flat but it doesn't really last long and with nothing to see here I wouldn't have a strong recommendation for this trail.
This nature preserve is a very hilly and twisty trail.
The pavement is nice and smooth throughout your time here though the constant bending arounds corners will require you to keep your hands on the brakes.
This is a pretty hilly trail that stretches for nearly 5 miles but is an enjoyable trip none the less.
Power line towers dot the landscape as soon as you hit Hampton and remain throughout the journey.
The trail boasts a garden nursery near Cypress Street, so be on the lookout for whatever plants are being taken care of.
This trail is so cracked and bumpy there are almost no smooth parts to it.
Nosie from traffic is also a constant presence.
There is nothing to see here expect a few bursts of nature amidst urban sprawl.
It's also so short you should consider walking instead of biking.
The trail is kinda bumpy throughout and switches from nature to urban almost immediately, with nothing really to see. Still, I felt I enjoyed my time on this trail, but if you're not local, I wouldn't bother.
