Pumpkinvine Nature Trail

End to End beautiful trail and ride

June, 2025 by vicki1960

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!

LaSalle Trail

Good Tail

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It has a nice round trip, with mostly smooth pavement except by Roseland park, so maybe skip that section.

Mishawaka Riverwalk

Okay

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's an okay trail with a nice round trip, and some enjoyable sights.

Accordion

Coal Line Trail

Very Nice

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

Nice and open to nature with a brief urban stint with not too many road crossings.

I would recommend this trail to anyone looking.

Northside Trail

Okay

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's mostly an urban trail, with not too much nature.

Geese were allover the place and so was their poop.

Good round trip though.

Elkhart River Greenway Trail

Pretty Good

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

Bird poop is common throughout this trail, especially by American Park, to the point you might want to only walk that segment instead of riding a bike.

Pavement is mostly smooth, though American Park turns into loose stone for a stretch, and overall scenery is good for the trail.

Portage Creek Bicentennial Trail

Good Trail

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

A good that's slightly marred by a brief urban stint, you'll thankfully spend most of your time in a nature setting with this route.

Mostly flat, you'll get both sun & shade with this trail, though sights are few.

You can also use this trail to link up with multiple other trails in Portage, including Millennium Trail, Lovers Lane Bikeway, Romence Road Bikeway, Shaver Road Bikeway, and Northwest Portage Bikeway.

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.

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.

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.
