      Flowy. That’s how many of the cyclists described the public mountain bike trail as they came to initiate it last week on the campus of the Whirlpool Corp.’s Lakeview Campus near Benton Harbor. I rode it, too. Sure enough, you can stay on an entirely beginner-level loop ― that's most of this 7.5-mile trail ― with hardly any climbing as it takes little up-and-down rolls.

      Along the way, there are rock ledges where you can try a jump if you’ve got the skill and nerves but where you can also opt for an easy bypass. The same goes for a handful of wavy wooden bike ramps.

      Class 1 e-bikes are allowed. One Wheels are not allowed as they are fully motorized.
