If you're looking for nature trail, this isn't the one you want, as you will spend all of your time near business parks and serious road traffic.
It has pretty decent hills near the final two miles past Meijer, and lots of sun
They’ve extended the trail this last summer instead of having to go around the Sowers house and ride on the road for a bit. The trail goes through woods towards the old Limberlost golf course by the ice cream shop Lickity Splitz (in the old clubhouse) on north through town clear out to Sylvan Cellars. They’ve widen the sidewalk on the bridge that you share with State Road 9 over a bit of Sylvan Lake. It’s a great addition to what is already a great trail
My wife and I rode on the Cardinal Trail from the southern end at Richmond up to Economy. We really enjoyed the most southern end from Richmond to Williamsburg. If you walk or ride this part of the trail, you will enjoy much shade from the overhang trees. It’s not a straight path either with some turns so that it has a little character to it. The pavement is in decent shape, although there are a few bumps along the way. However, it appears that trail maintenance is trying to minimize those root bumps. We truly enjoyed our bike ride today and would recommend other bike enthusiasts to get out there and enjoy the cardinal trail.
We rode the GAP from Cedar Creek Park to the Boston trailhead at the base of the Historic Boston Bridge and back. About 36 miles round trip. What a great ride. Smooth trail with lots of benches and several picnic areas and toilet facilities. Well maintained. Passed through several little communities along the trail. No major highways and very few little roads to cross making it very safe. Got a delicious huge “medium” size ice cream cone at the “Big Twist” in Blythedale, right off the trail. Highly recommend this ride!
This is probably one of the most boring trails we’ve ridden. There aren’t even any cute little towns along the way to ride into and stop for lunch! ¿¿¿¿
There's nothing special about this trail, it's open to the sun and that's about it.
This is a great trail that's open to the sun and shade in equal measure, with some urban thrown in.
I would use it as a walking path, or as a means to get on Wabash River Trail.
This narrow and tight trail offers a great trip and a mix of sun and shade.
A half mile of road travel is required as the map is no longer accurate but is still a pleasant experience.
We live near the trailhead at DeMoney/Grimes Funeral Home and bike the trail regularly. If you’re coming from out of town, you can park at Krogers. From this point the trail drops into Morsches’ Park, behind the YMCA, along the Blue River just south of town, and then all the way out to the Columbia City Schools. Part of the new expansion takes you through neighborhoods, but it’s still a dedicated bike trail and not simply a sidewalk with trail markers. Total length is approximately 15 miles if you don’t include a return trip. At no pointed are you required to hike/bike on a roadway.
