Erie Trail

Nice Trail

August, 2026 by flyinmansam

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.

Big 4 Trail (Lebanon to Colfax)

Mostly smooth and easy ride

July, 2026 by dan_mccue

I was ready for a very rough ride in the midsection of the trail from Lebanon to Colfax and back. This is no knock on other reviews, but it made me very pleased with the shock absorption on my bike (Giant Roam 3). This was a smoother overall ride than I expected. I did hit a few (5 or less, one way) tree root-made rises that got my attention, but as others have advised, if you take them slowly you'll be OK.

If there were any crushed rock sections, they were well compacted, not loose. Most of the trail was smooth and flat, and the tree canopy along with a slight breeze made the route cool on a hot summer day. There are several benches in the shade for rest stops. I'm a casual rider, not concerned with speed, and this trail fit my style. I expect I will ride it again in the not too distant future.

Panhandle Pathway

A Smooth Beautiful Trail

July, 2026 by pafallen19

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.

Cloverleaf Trail

Good Trail

There's a fair amount of road crossings here, but it's otherwise a very good trail.

Levee Trail

Good

July, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

It's a completely sunny trail, so break out the sunscreen/long sleeved shirts for this one.

The trail elevates you to the point where you will feel like you're on top of an actual levee.

You'll be seeing boat docks for the most part, so there isn't too much to see.

Lake Max Trail

Okay

July, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

The layout is a bit confusing at first and it's a mostly urban setting here but otherwise not too bad.

Blue River Trail (Columbia City)

Short but Nice

June, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

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.

River Bluff Trail

Short but nice

June, 2026 by clonetrooper5373

The pavement is a bit rough all throughout the trail, as roots are beginning to crack through so some brief sections are rough on the bum.

You'll get both sun & shade on this decent nature trail.

Wabash River Trail

Lovely trail

June, 2026 by cariesmith

I drove 4 hours to bike this trail (15 miles out and back) the last day of May and thoroughly enjoyed everything about it - the curves, the great condition of the trail, the birdsong, the bridges, the view of the river, the other cyclists as well as walkers. The switchback hill was tough. The ride on the road wasn’t bad at all. I recommend this trail for anyone looking for a trail of this length.
