Riding Along the Oak Savannah Trail

Angela and I have been starting to bike ride again. We really are lucky to live where we do since there are some of the nicer bike trails in Indiana within just a short distance of our house.

The Oak Savannah Trail starts just south of our house and continues for just over 7 miles towards Griffith, IN. It is a very nice stretch of paved trail that provides wonderful scenery and protection from vehicles at the same time. Our initial goal is to be able to bike all the way to the end of the trail and back again.

There is also the option of following a partial trail through the town of Hobart to the start of another Indiana trail called the Prairie Duneland Trail. At some point we hope to try this one out as well. It's about a 2.5 mile ride to get to the start of it through downtown Hobart. Once there the trail continues for over 10 miles and you can even make connections to 2 more additional trails.

Eventually the plans are to have all of the segments connected and to have one large path connecting Northwest Indiana. That will be very nice when it happens but for now it is still a plus to have such a wonderful opportunity so close to home.
