The Salomon Farm Park trail loop in Fort Wayne uses a short stretch
of rail-trail and passes the new Parkview
Family YMCA. The rail-trail portion is part of a
long-term plan to connect Fort Wayne and two counties to the north,
although the segment makes no connections yet. Fort Wayne
was one of a handful of Indiana cities that submitted projects toward
the federal stimulus bill, and included in its list were over a
dozen trail projects ready for
construction. The bill promises to lend about $10 million
toward Indiana trail projects.
Westfield's Wait Almost Over
Years of waiting for their own Monon
Trail to open came to an early end for these Westfield residents,
who took advantage of the fresh pavement and warm fall weather to
explore this quiet, tree-lined path just north of 146th Street. Northward
development of the trail is expected to reach 161st Street in the
coming months and eventually reach to Sheridan.
The town of Winona Lake added another reason for tourists to visit
the quiet lakeside enclave in north-central Indiana, shown above.
The 2-mile Heritage Trail, a portion of the Lake
City Greenway around the city of Warsaw, features water views,
handsome town streets, deep woods, and several pieces of trailside
artwork that interpret the town's values: kindness, virtue, generosity,
community, gathering, beauty, respect, legacy, peace, and love. Fittingly
enough, trails at their best manage to embody the same assets.
