Erie Trail

This is my home area trail. It's going to need some work soon but is great over all.

Nickel Plate Trail

Good trail, liner than expected

October, 2025 by peterdevity

This trail was very good, highly recommend for people. The gap in between has lots of areas to eat, so you can’t get hungry. Some of the fast food places and grocery stores are McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, Arby’s, Subway, Kroger, and ALDI. Just a note, this trail can reach around 10 miles farther than what the trail says, if you start at Fansler Park in Rochester. Very well paved, not many bumps. It would take about 25 miles to reach Peru, which is the middle town. The road section is pretty short, around 3-3.5 miles. From there, it will take you another 20-ish miles to reach the end. However, the end leads to another trail, which goes to a splash pad and some parks, great for the early summer and late spring. We visited in the fall, but you might have an even better experience in the warmer seasons.

Panhandle Pathway

Panhandle Update

September, 2025 by skasteve

The Panhandle Pathway is a beautiful and expanding trail--with the most recent addition being northward through Winamac. The Friends of the Panhandle Pathway are collaborating with the Prairie Trails Club, supporters of the Erie Trail (including the Great American Rail Trail and American Discovery Trail), on defining a backroads share-the-road asphalt connector between the two non-motorized and walker routes.

Gary Green Link Trail

I see the vision

September, 2025 by lesashea.feagin

I understand what this was meant to be. But it’s so overgrown that you end up walking in the street. That’s an issue for me because I wanted to have a trail the kids could walk.

Nickel Plate Trail

Gold plated

August, 2025 by malysaamy

Started at Lovers Lane Parking lot on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and went half way out and back. The trail is up all the way, but not so much as to dampen your spirits or your legs.
Beautiful countryside with a mix of shaded woods and open fields. An occasional small town as well. Little to no cars in the road crossings.
We did not experience the on road riding at Peru but will be back to ride the northern section.
Just a beautiful trail that we will ride again.

Cattail Trail

not many cattails

May, 2025 by r99ghs5zhr

Cons: zero markings and multiple options made it somewhat stressful to navigate so I would not recommend it. At least half is by roads. Pros: good pavement. Partly next to Purdue campus. Small section of Cattail marsh was pretty.

Calumet Trail

They started paving last fall. From County line rd heading West there is about 2-3 miles paved to Lake Shore County rd.

Prairie Duneland Trail

its fine

April, 2025 by alexrauch84

Straight flat the mile markers are off by 1.5 miles. The pavement is not smooth enough to skate on with ease. But for biking its fine. 80% friendly people to people of color.

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.

Great American Rail-Trail
