This is such a lovely trail with beautiful views of farms, but also places to stop for snacks if you're into a more leisurely rides. You can make it longer by adding miles on the Greenway. Something for everyone!
Love that this trail is close to home for me. It’s a little bumpy in places but my husband and I really enjoy it.
I don't know why it's called the River Valley trail since most of it goes right next to the highway, with only occasional views of a river and no valley to be seen. We rode 20 miles starting in Galesburg. The first couple of miles were scenic, through a wooded area but the next 10 miles were along the highway - BORING AND UGLY. When we got to Kalamazoo, we found several detours because of unsafe bridges. That forced us to cross busy highways. While the trail surface was mostly good, the location of the trail was terrible.
What a lovely ride through the countryside! We rode in late April, so saw plenty of spring flowers and budding trees through the woods. We also enjoyed seeing some lambs and foals in the livestock pastures that we passed. The entire trail is paved, and in very good condition most of the way. We rode from Abshire Park in Goshen to Shipshewana and back, and stopped in Middlebury on the way out for lunch, and Mooey's for ice cream on the return trip. Just be aware that a lot of places are closed on Sundays, so try to ride on Saturday or a weekday. I would love to do this trail again in the fall, to see the change in scenery.
It’s ok but with nothing to look at as you spend your time in residential areas. Nice round trip though.
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.
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.
