This is one of the bright spots of the trail. Gobels has a great deal to offer for a break from the trail.
What a beautiful day for a bike ride and a neat place to stop.
I did a 20 miles out, 20 miles back ride. Overall, a very nice trail. It’s mostly shaded as it goes through wooded areas. The terrain is primarily packed dirt with some crushed gravel (and a short portion was paved). There were a few spots with deep rut that have been filled in with crushed gravel–which can be dangerous on a bicycle (around mile marker 14.5 was the worst). The trail is mostly flat with some gradual grades. There are a lot of spots that you have to stop to cross roads.
The trail goes from Kalamazoo to South Haven. The trail is dirt mostly however, it is very compact and riding a bike on it is no problem. The trail is also relatively flat.
Very easy scenic trail with wildflowers in bloom! Had to pick up bikes to get over a downed tree across the trail after Mile 3. WooWee the smell from the cow & chicken farms took our breathes away
