Vicksburg Trailway

Enjoyable

November, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

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.

Millennium Trail (MI)

Not Much Here

November, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

It's a quick 3 mile trip start to finish.

It's nice and flat but it doesn't really last long and with nothing to see here I wouldn't have a strong recommendation for this trail.

Eliason Nature Reserve Trail

Hilly & Twisty

November, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

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.

Accordion

Northwest Portage Bikeway

Hilly

November, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

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.

Pumpkinvine Nature Trail

Rode trail from Shipshewana to Goshen, what a beautiful scenic trail. Make sure you stop at Mooies for icecream.

East Centre Avenue/Sprinkle Road Bikeway

Avoid

November, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

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.

Falling Waters Trail

An Excellent Trail

November, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

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.

Jerry Russell Trail

Decent but short

October, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

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.

Shaver Road Bikeway

Decent

October, 2024 by clonetrooper5373

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.

Wabash Cannonball Trail

Wabash Cannonball Trail

October, 2024 by jaded1

On recumbent trikes, we recently rode about 15 miles of the North Fork; 5 non-paved miles on the far west end, and 10 paved miles on the eastern end. We did not ride the middle section around Wauseon. We also rode the 10 paved miles of the South Fork. The unpaved west end of the North Fork was in very good shape, much better than many parts of the C&O Canal Trail. Any bike with wider tires should be able to enjoy it.

No one has commented on the number of road crossings on all the trail sections. In the 62 miles of trail, there are more than 75 road crossings! Just when you get pedaling up to speed, you come to a road crossing. Some road crossings are very busy, with lots of cars coming fast. Others are not. You have to slow for each one to be sure.

A very nice trail and very worth riding.

Pufferbelly Trail

First time going

October, 2024 by shannanh890

My first time going and it was great! Safe place and beautiful scenery

Falling Waters Trail

One of the better trails we have used

October, 2024 by tim36r

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.
