Rieke Park Trail

Short but Ok

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

There's nothing to see except some sports fields, a pond, and crops, and with a short round trip, I might skip it if you're not local.

St. Joseph River Greenway

Ok

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

There's lots of shade on this one, with statues lining the entrance to the trail and the Joseph River is always in sight.

The trail itself has a lot tight twists and turns early on before straightening out and the pavement is pretty rough, with bumps and cracks throughout.

I would only recommend this one to locals, and maybe only walk it.

Fishing Line Trail (Fort Wayne)

Not Worth It

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

There's nothing to see or do here, and with such a short round trip, I advise skipping this one.

Pufferbelly Trail

Pretty Good

June, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

This trail is an excellent choice if you're local, (or willing to travel) for anyone who wants a good trail. It's a little bit hilly, a mix of sun and shade, pavement is pretty smooth and with an great round trip, the only real downside is the frequent road crossings, some of which might require you to get off your bike and walk across.

I would definitely recommend this trail to those looking.

Iron Horse River Trail

Ok

May, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

Split into two sections, one paved and the other wooded with packed dirt, it's a decent trail but nothing special.

The first part is completely paved with not a single bump or crack that I saw, and the second is the wooded part that's a bit rougher though with a better view of the St. Joseph's River.

DeKalb County Trail

new asphalt

May, 2025 by deb.mihalec

Widen and new asphalt!! You can park at the old greenhurst golf course. Plus, ride through the old golf course, and also ride through Rieke Park.

Warrior Trail

Nice

March, 2025 by clonetrooper5373

A nice trail thought there isn’t anything to see expect endless cornfields.

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

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

Lima Rotary Riverwalk

The trail is blacktop, very well maintained.Shaded in evening, with lots of wooded areas along the river. Wildflowers too.The bathrooms in Heritage West Park, appear to be very nice.

DeKalb County Trail

The trail is getting widened so it will no longer be a glorified sidewalk. The surface will be asphalt. I can't wait to give it another chance!
