Austin, Texas, blogger finds Kal-Haven Trail ‘awesome’

A native of Austin, Texas, recently discovered the beauty of riding the Kal-Haven trail and blogged about it to readers of Austin360.

LeBlac says she was vacationing in a resort town on Lake Michigan. She rented a bike and checked out the Kal-Haven Trail, a 33.5-mile multi-use trail that runs from South Haven to Kalamazoo.

“Awesome!” she blogs.

Excerpt:

The route, part of the Rails-to-Trails program that converts old railroad tracks to hike-and-bike (and cross country ski and snow mobile) trails, stretched out long and straight from the quaint little resort town on Lake Michigan where my mom lives.

I rolled past the Black River, over a wonderful covered bridge, past fields of blueberry bushes and into the woods.

I know Texas has trees, but it doesn’t have trees like this, which grow tall and thick and spread their shady arms overhead like a protective umbrella.

Tell LeBlanc about your favorite trail and read the full blog entry.
