You'll get plenty of sunshine on this smooth & enjoyable trail and you can continue your journey if you want onto the Converse Junction Trail for a 10 mile round trip experience.
If you're traveling down this path, I would continue on to Sweetser Trail, as this trail is just too short on its own.
This narrow and tight trail offers a great trip and a mix of sun and shade.
A half mile of road travel is required as the map is no longer accurate but is still a pleasant experience.
We kept the scooter the scooters under 25mph . Perfect tail for walking/ e bikes / scooters . Everything was clean and in good shape when the wife and I visited. Busy trail . Make sure u have a bell on ur motorized anything for the blind corners . Keep the speed down . Highly recommended.
We rode the trail four days this week The scenery is so pleasant….truly southern Indiana. Cows in pastures too If you start at the end (Hartsrait Rd and 46W), you can ride almost four miles without crossing a major intersection. We parked at the $$$ across from the trail head Highly recommend
We live near the trailhead at DeMoney/Grimes Funeral Home and bike the trail regularly. If you’re coming from out of town, you can park at Krogers. From this point the trail drops into Morsches’ Park, behind the YMCA, along the Blue River just south of town, and then all the way out to the Columbia City Schools. Part of the new expansion takes you through neighborhoods, but it’s still a dedicated bike trail and not simply a sidewalk with trail markers. Total length is approximately 15 miles if you don’t include a return trip. At no pointed are you required to hike/bike on a roadway.
Drove down from South Bend. Started at CR700 and rode to North Judson and back. Class 2 e-bikes. Nice, quiet trail. Maybe saw 10 people total. Decent shape for the most part. A few rough spots and low hanging vegetation. Plenty of shade. Didn’t venture into town this trip. Will definitely be back.
Ride Kokomo to Peru. Lots of shade areas. Relatively smooth.
I was ready for a very rough ride in the midsection of the trail from Lebanon to Colfax and back. This is no knock on other reviews, but it made me very pleased with the shock absorption on my bike (Giant Roam 3). This was a smoother overall ride than I expected. I did hit a few (5 or less, one way) tree root-made rises that got my attention, but as others have advised, if you take them slowly you'll be OK.
If there were any crushed rock sections, they were well compacted, not loose. Most of the trail was smooth and flat, and the tree canopy along with a slight breeze made the route cool on a hot summer day. There are several benches in the shade for rest stops. I'm a casual rider, not concerned with speed, and this trail fit my style. I expect I will ride it again in the not too distant future.
Ride day: Sunday July 12, 2026 We started at the Panhandle Trail Head at Country Road 50 N. Only real downed was the parking at the trail head. Only 3 spaces available and 2 were taken. Was a touch tricky, but we got it. We rode North through the town of Royal Center and on wards. After an hour give or take we turned to head back. The trail is perfect. Fairly straight trail with all kinds of wildlife and beautiful scenery all around. Only a few minor root bumps on the trail - but they were all marked. Even some rest rooms along the way! Will ride again without question - great trail.
