The trail was amazing. It was very well kept and clean with restrooms available. Most of the trail was fully wooded and all of the trail was hard surface . Highly recommend this trail!!!
Rode Gaston South to Muncie out and back. Expectations were high to ride this rural route in it's entirety-one of the longest in Indiana. It started out with promise but mile after mile the trail disappointed.
We ended our adventure at the Muncie Bradley Road closure with neighborhoods getting sketchier and sketchier and trail surface deteriorating. We decided not to take the detour and turned around.
Expectations definitely deflated.
Next day went over to the Nickel Plate Trail which was exactly what we were looking for in a rural Indiana ride.
This trail is closed 2.5 miles north of the Richmond trailhead. There are no signs indicating this or a detour around to connect it. Construction on I-70 is ongoing and I’ve been informed that the trail is open north of this point.
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.
There's nothing to see or do here, and with such a short round trip, I advise skipping this one.
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.
