Ran this trail in January. The path is wide and welcoming. I have a feeling it is just breathtaking in the fall. Wish I lived closer so that I could run it more often. I felt safe. Highly recommend.
This trail was not a pleasant experience. I am not from Indiana, but was in town for the day and looking for a new trail to run. In the description it reads that the trail is concrete and asphalt. I looked through some of the pictures for this trail (hardly any that were actually of this trail) and noted that they were quite old, so I thought things may have been updated since then. I was very wrong. If anything, it has been downgraded. Granted, I did run the trail in the winter and there was snow melting, this trail was a big disappointment and basically just a mud pit with a little gravel mixed in. The ONLY part that is concrete is the section that is shared with the 2 other trails that intersect...that being Clear Creek and Limestone Greenway. After you get directly on Bloomington it is all gravel which, to me, wasn't even gravel...it was more like black cinder. There is also a portion of the trail that is through a yard and crosses the road o the rest of the trail. I am sure that this trail is most likely very pretty during the rest of the seasons as there is most likely a heavy tree canopy and the gorge itself was neat to see. The trail was flat. The tree canopy and the flatness was about the only thing going for this trail. I do have to say as an element of safety, being a woman and leaving honest reviews about feeling secure, I didn't feel safe on this trail even though it ran behind houses. There were tent's in the woods. There were homeless people walking the trail. There were bikes left in the middle of the trail...and it was January. I have ran over 50 trails in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Florida, and I was honestly scared on this trail. I would only recommend this if the sun was shining and you were with a group or carried protection of your own.
The west end of the trail now continues along Fall Creek to Burdsal Parkway and then to the White River trail, and it also intersects with the new extension of the Canal Towpath.
The south end is no longer at 30th St; it now follows the canal down to Burdsal Parkway. From there it connects both to the Fall Creek Trail and to a new trail whose name I don’t even know, that goes south to Indiana Avenue, where it connects to a new extension of the Cultural Trail which takes you downtown. If you follow that to the east end, it connects to the Monon Trail which will loop you back to the north end of this trail.
Rode trail from Shipshewana to Goshen, what a beautiful scenic trail. Make sure you stop at Mooies for icecream.
My first time going and it was great! Safe place and beautiful scenery
We started in Akron and rode about 18 miles north. Loved it!!!
No bathrooms but plenty of parking! We'll kept trail. Nice short ride.
Stopped and checked out passing through town for the first time. Exited off I-64 and parked near YMCA. I will go 10th and Floyd if I am inclined to ride it again. Kinda short for me, but beefed it out a little by crossing the Big Four Bridge. Nothing very remarkable but it was a nice day.
On a business trip I was able to ride two evenings. Beautiful early fall foliage along the way. Asphalt pavement is smooth and a short gravel run along the old railway. Beautiful crossing of Sugar creek on a wooden bridge structure is a sure place to stop and enjoy the view. Well maintained. Multiple sightings of deer, squirrels, and geese. I will definitely return and bring a road bike or mountain bike.
What a great trail. Mostly wooded. All hard surface. Extremely enjoyable!
