Similar to nearby Dalhem Center, this is not a trail per se, but a number of
them in an enclosed area, with the main trail only being a mile long (round trip). As bikes are not allowed at the colleges request, this is just a set trail loops that can be walked in a small location
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.
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.
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.
Rode trail from Shipshewana to Goshen, what a beautiful scenic trail. Make sure you stop at Mooies for icecream.
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.
This is an excellent trail, bar none. It is an predominantly nature trail, with no real urban distractions like cars zipping by. It is 99% smooth and free of bumps (with the only exception being miles 8 through 10 by Weatherwax trailhead being a little rough).
Road crossings are somewhat frequent, so be on the lookout for those.
Benches and trash cans abound for those who need them, and mile markings also can be seen throughout the trail.
Sculptures been added to the last two miles, adding to the scenery.
There is an extender to this trail just past the Concord trailhead, adding about another mile or so to the experience if you're up for the full ride.
I can not recommend this trail strongly enough.
Those looking for a good nature trail need go no further than FWT.
This brief trail is a mix of a brief segment of nature that quickly gives over to an urban setting, linking with the Baw Beese trail. The trail is mostly smooth, with a few plant roots breaking through the asphalt. It's best used as a walking trail, as it ends too quickly on a bike, unless you head down the Baw Beese trail as well.
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.
Started at the Jackson end of the trail using the Weatherwax road trailhead.
Short trip down a connecter trail to the actual trail start.
The trail was in great shape with many new paved patches and crack fills, looks like the recently address the "roots" mentioned in the 2022 reviews.
12 foot wide provided lots of room.
The view was terrific as the trail bisects Lime Lake.
We drove a couple of hours to ride this trail and I would definitely do it again in the future.
No bathrooms but plenty of parking! We'll kept trail. Nice short ride.
