Print Friendly MapThe DeKalb County Trail was constructed in 1976 and is referred to as Indiana's first rail-trail. It runs between the City of Auburn and the Town of Waterloo.
At its southern end, the trail starts by Greenhurst Commons (1740 N Main St, Auburn), an urban preserve that is home to a variety of wildlife, a pond, and 1.25 miles of paved, accessible trails.
From Greenhurst Commons, the trail runs along the east side of Main Street and then Wayne Street/County Road 427 to the southern limits of Waterloo through farmland and the occasional private residence.
Also known as the Auburn/Waterloo Bike Path, the trail runs parallel to Rieke Trail, which runs along the east side of Rieke Park (1800 Indiana Ave, Auburn).
There is no designated parking for this trail, but you can park at
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.
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!
Do not go out of your way to ride this one. No Trailhead on the north end. The trail runs directly next to a busy State Road, and it is one of the bumpiest sidewalks I have ever been on! Parked at the south end where there happens to be a golf course turned into a city park. THAT was a peaceful, beautiful and quick ride. However, some of the paths in the park dead end because of bridges being out. Better than the actual trail though!
very disappointed. narrow and bumpy.
