Rieke Park Trail

Short but Ok

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

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.

St. Joseph River Greenway

Ok

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

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.

Wilden Avenue Trail

Skip

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

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.

Fishing Line Trail (Fort Wayne)

Not Worth It

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

There's nothing to see or do here, and with such a short round trip, I advise skipping this one.

Pufferbelly Trail

Pretty Good

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

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.

Iron Horse River Trail

Ok

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

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.

DeKalb County Trail

new asphalt

May, 2025 by deb.mihalec

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.

Pumpkinvine Nature Trail

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!

Pumpkinvine Nature Trail

Wonderful trail, beautiful scenery

April, 2025 by dawnmsh

What a lovely ride through the countryside! We rode in late April, so saw plenty of spring flowers and budding trees through the woods. We also enjoyed seeing some lambs and foals in the livestock pastures that we passed. The entire trail is paved, and in very good condition most of the way. We rode from Abshire Park in Goshen to Shipshewana and back, and stopped in Middlebury on the way out for lunch, and Mooey's for ice cream on the return trip. Just be aware that a lot of places are closed on Sundays, so try to ride on Saturday or a weekday. I would love to do this trail again in the fall, to see the change in scenery.

Great American Rail-Trail

Warden to Lind

April, 2025 by howmarplus3

Ok section, kind of dull. Agriculture & cows. Found a bit of shade by a grain elevator for lunch. Several washouts filled with tumbleweeds as you get closer to Lind.

Warrior Trail

Nice

March, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

A nice trail thought there isn’t anything to see expect endless cornfields.

Ninth Street Trail

Ok

March, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It’s nice and flat, dominated by old factories and nearby park.
