Fishing Line Trail (Noble)

New trail improvements

July, 2026 by kirktonj_tl

After parking at Gene Stratton Porter, we headed into Kendallville, and then rode back to Rome City. Even though not listed on the app, there is a section of new trail completed, a nice parking parea and a repair station at Gaff Park in Rome City. We followed the trail through the park down past the boat ramp and up to the business district. It was a great ride with restaurants at both ends of the trail

Decatur Greenway

A bit Rough

June, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

The pavement is pretty bumpy, rough, and narrow the entire time, so your bum might not thank you if you ride your bike on this one.

Nice and scenic, as it takes you through local parks, nature, and a hospital.

Blue River Trail (Columbia City)

Short but Nice

June, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

The trail is very narrow all throughout, so if you encounter a another bike rider, there's not a whole lot of room of maneuver in, so be careful.

It's also a bit rough until you get south of E Van Buren st, where it does get nice and smooth.

Wabash River Trail

Lovely trail

June, 2026 by cariesmith

I drove 4 hours to bike this trail (15 miles out and back) the last day of May and thoroughly enjoyed everything about it - the curves, the great condition of the trail, the birdsong, the bridges, the view of the river, the other cyclists as well as walkers. The switchback hill was tough. The ride on the road wasn’t bad at all. I recommend this trail for anyone looking for a trail of this length.

Airbnb right on trail in Burgettstown

June, 2026 by dowiakp

Discovered this comfortable place with great accommodations for two bike travelers. They offer a pullout sofa if you do not wish to share a bed. Indoor bike storage with a comfy bed and a hot shower! Distillery right next-door and two restaurants to fuel up in the morning to get back on the trail. Close to the panhandle of West Virginia. Their name is Harmony Trail Haven on Airbnb.

Pumpkinvine Nature Trail

A Great Trail

May, 2026 by kokmeyerjoe

Rode today from Shipshiwanna to Goshen and I highly recommend this trail. Completely asphalt until the very end in Goshen. Beautiful country side with local farms, farm smells and a creamy adjacent of the trail - but it was closed. Enjoyed it very much.
