Is it difficult to navigate the on road portions of the trail (ie, are they well-marked)?
For next year, perhaps the Chippewa Trail or Root River, but the gas prices are really constricting travel.
I wouldn't say the road sections are 'well marked' but it's not hard to stay on course.
This map has parking marked:

I like to start on the far south end and park at the Lilly Lane Nature Preserve (small parking lot on a dead end road just west of the trail), even better is "River Barn Park" which is on 57 (1/2 mile east of the trail) but has water and restrooms. FYI: The trail is
not paved south of the county line, but paved the rest of the way.
