Get in a Hike Nov. 17 Around Michiana | Cressy & Everett

November 17 is National Take a Hike Day, and what better time to head out and explore the beautiful trails near South Bend and St. Joseph? Let our real estate agents be your trail guides to the best fall hikes in Michiana!

  • LaSalle Trail - 19701 Cleveland Road, South Bend, IN 46637
    A 3.5-mile paved trail that extends from the heart of South Bend to the Michigan state line, the LaSalle Trail is a great option for an easy hike or bike ride. The trail traverses city parks, suburban neighborhoods and forested rural areas, offering some beautiful scenery along the way. Parking is available at its many trailheads near these South Bend homes for sale. The LaSalle Trail is also part of the Indiana-Michigan River Valley Trail system, an ongoing trail project connecting several communities in Michiana.

  • John and Dede Howard Family Trail - 801 Highland St., St. Joseph, MI 49085
    Extending roughly 2 miles through the heart of St. Joseph, the John and Dede Howard Family Trail offers a perfect afternoon stroll. The trail begins at the Upton Arboretum and follows the bank of the St. Joseph River before cutting a path through a series of parks and green spaces and emerging at an overlook that provides a sweeping view of Lake Michigan. The John and Dede Howard Family Trail is walkable from many of these St. Joseph homes for sale. 

  • Lydick Bog - 25898 US-20, South Bend, IN 46628
    Home to an easy 1.9-mile loop trail that meanders through picturesque woods and wetlands, Lydick Bog Nature Preserve is an off-the-beaten-path hiking destination just 10 minutes outside South Bend. The preserve encompasses a dramatic glacial landscape, including kettle-hole ponds and large boulders left behind as the glaciers melted thousands of years ago. An excellent bird-watching area, Lydick Bog also offers unique and varied plant life, like wild cranberry and pitcher plants.

  • Warren Dunes State Park - 12032 Red Arrow Highway, Sawyer, MI 49125
    Warren Dunes State Park spans 1,952 acres, including 3 miles of Lake Michigan, just a short drive south of St. Joseph. It's a truly stunning park that provides some of the best hiking trails in the region—6 miles in total—that crisscross peaceful woodlands overlooking the lake. The park's forests are perched atop a series of towering sand dunes that loom 260 feet above the lakeshore, and the views from the top are truly stunning, especially at sunset. 

  • Spicer Lake Nature Preserve - 50840 County Line Road, New Carlisle, IN 46552
    First opened as a public park in the 1970s, Spicer Lake Nature Preserve encompasses 320 acres in New Carlisle, Indiana, right along the Michigan border. A remarkable wilderness area created by retreating glaciers some 10,000 years ago, the preserve includes a little over 5 miles of trails and boardwalks through forests, fields, and wetlands. A stone's throw from these New Carlisle Homes for Sale, Spicer Lake Nature Preserve includes two kettle lakes and several blinds that can be used for wildlife viewing.

  • Lake Michigan College Nature Trail - Benton Harbor, MI 49022
    A charming nature trail on the campus of Lake Michigan College, the LMC Nature Trail is an ideal spot for a quick, easy nature hike near these Benton Harbor Homes for Sale. This 1.8-mile trail is well-maintained and open to the general public, meandering through a lovely 70-acre tract of woods.
