Drove down from South Bend. Started at CR700 and rode to North Judson and back. Class 2 e-bikes. Nice, quiet trail. Maybe saw 10 people total. Decent shape for the most part. A few rough spots and low hanging vegetation. Plenty of shade. Didn’t venture into town this trip. Will definitely be back.
Ride Kokomo to Peru. Lots of shade areas. Relatively smooth.
Ride day: Sunday July 12, 2026 We started at the Panhandle Trail Head at Country Road 50 N. Only real downed was the parking at the trail head. Only 3 spaces available and 2 were taken. Was a touch tricky, but we got it. We rode North through the town of Royal Center and on wards. After an hour give or take we turned to head back. The trail is perfect. Fairly straight trail with all kinds of wildlife and beautiful scenery all around. Only a few minor root bumps on the trail - but they were all marked. Even some rest rooms along the way! Will ride again without question - great trail.
The layout is a bit confusing at first and it's a mostly urban setting here but otherwise not too bad.
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
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.
We rode from Abshire Park in Goshen to Middlebury. The scenery was beautiful. We ate in Middlebury at Hilltop Restaurant.
Trail was ok. Accessed by Beverly shores train station and headed toward Chesterton first. First section was Ricky but not bad. Beyond that there were many areas of pooling water that nearly spanned the trail in many places. Just be aware of that. From BS train station toward Mich city it was again initially rocky terrain but rideable. Beyond that it connected to the next trail. I don’t recall the name of that one. That one was paved and great. The rocky areas also have tall grass. (Think two track). All in all we enjoyed the ride but just be aware it can be a bit mushy in spots. have fairly tw grasshave.
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.
We just completed the trail. What a Gem!!! Extremely smooth!!!!
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.
