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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
We rode from Bailey Park west on the Linear trail to the end. While the surface was pretty good, the fact that there are several busy road crossings, no signs or maps, no water or restrooms, made this trail undesirable. What a shame that the city of Battle Creek doesn't spend a few bucks to make this trail top-notch.
It's nice and smooth pavement, but it's so short (even round trip) that's it's only kinda worth it if you walk it.
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.
This is an enjoyable trail that takes you through downtown jackson that will take you through different landscapes including a bit of nature, behind a local elementary school, a park and a bit of urban setting.
As of 2023, the city has started to upgrade the section closest to Falling Waters Trail.
It's a good round trip experience and I would recommend it to anyone considering it.
