Has anyone eaten at Amanda's Place in Paw Paw and how difficult is it to bike to.

I haven’t stayed there since it has become Amanda’s Place but it is not difficult to ride to. You simply leave the trail on a paved path and ride to the bridge over the river and then ride along the road shoulder on into Paw Paw. Its perhaps a mile and slightly uphill.

Amanda’s is a wonderful place to eat at!

EASY trip off the trail to bike to just as Rivnuts said. Talked to the owner, Amanda, for a quite a bit. Great restaurant owner, super friendly, and outstanding food. An oasis in Paw Paw. Highly recommend.

Gotta agree, it's a bit of an unexpected surprise. Easy to reach, salads were fresh, food was good. My only regret was not taking her advice and getting a ride around the PawPaw tunnel detour.

Hi what is Paw paw tunnel detour and how does it impact trail??

 
H. Thomas from Great Lakes on 8/3/2020 10:33:09 AM:
The detour was an horrendous narrow path uphill slog that added about 90 minutes to our trip on a 95 degree full pack trip. But, that was 2 years ago and I believe the tunnel is open again

Tunnel is open. I just went through it at the end of June.
