Open for Business

The town of Winona Lake just 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.

New State Funding Arrives


Years of effort by trail advocates and volunteers continues to be supported and lauded by the Daniels Administration, which this May announced $19 million in brand new state grants to supplement advanced-stage projects such as the Nickel Plate Trail (above).  The volunteer group in Miami County is working on the last unopened segment of the Nickel Plate Trail in Bunker Hill, a bridge funded in part by another special grant from DNR and the Lilly Endowment announced last December.  The Greenways Foundation has been working hard behind the scenes with the state in finding ways to best assist projects especially vital to the Indiana state trails plan.

Fort Wayne's Big Day


An initial grant of $10,000 from Oprah's Big Give to the Aboite (Township) New Trails organization bloomed into a windfall of over $1 million for the Fort Wayne area, with hundreds of avid trail supporters turning out in four coordinated locations despite the chilly weather.  Appearances by Mayor Tom Henry, Colts coach Tony Dungy and four Colts players capped off the April 12th event.  A $500k matching portion from the city will go toward completion of the Towpath Trail, while four local trail groups will split the remaining funds.
