Lovers Lane Bikeway

Not Worth The Effort

January, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's a good distance (round trip) and a smooth journey, but unless you're trying to jump on Romence Road Bikeway or Portage Creek Bicentennial Park, I honestly wouldn't bother.

Romence Road Bikeway

Not Worth It

January, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

It's way too short with nothing to see or do, so unless you're trying to jump on Lovers Lanes path or Portage Creek Bicentennial Park, I honestly wouldn't bother.

Vicksburg Trailway

Enjoyable

November, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

It's a quick journey through farmland and some wetlands. There isn't much too see here but I found that I enjoyed my time here and would return here again in the future.

Accordion

Millennium Trail (MI)

Not Much Here

November, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

It's a quick 3 mile trip start to finish.

It's nice and flat but it doesn't really last long and with nothing to see here I wouldn't have a strong recommendation for this trail.

Eliason Nature Reserve Trail

Hilly & Twisty

November, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

This nature preserve is a very hilly and twisty trail.

The pavement is nice and smooth throughout your time here though the constant bending arounds corners will require you to keep your hands on the brakes.

Northwest Portage Bikeway

Hilly

November, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

This is a pretty hilly trail that stretches for nearly 5 miles but is an enjoyable trip none the less.

Power line towers dot the landscape as soon as you hit Hampton and remain throughout the journey.

The trail boasts a garden nursery near Cypress Street, so be on the lookout for whatever plants are being taken care of.

Pumpkinvine Nature Trail

Rode trail from Shipshewana to Goshen, what a beautiful scenic trail. Make sure you stop at Mooies for icecream.

East Centre Avenue/Sprinkle Road Bikeway

Avoid

November, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

This trail is so cracked and bumpy there are almost no smooth parts to it.

Nosie from traffic is also a constant presence.

There is nothing to see here expect a few bursts of nature amidst urban sprawl.

It's also so short you should consider walking instead of biking.

Shaver Road Bikeway

Decent

October, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

The trail is kinda bumpy throughout and switches from nature to urban almost immediately, with nothing really to see. Still, I felt I enjoyed my time on this trail, but if you're not local, I wouldn't bother.

Pufferbelly Trail
