Trek the Trails
Tuesdays in May, 6:00 p.m.
Fort Wayne has one of the finest trail systems in the Midwest with over 70 miles of trail winding through the city. Join local trail users for our fourth season of weekly bike rides this spring along the Rivergreenway, the Wabash & Erie Canal Towpath Trail, Aboite Trails, the Pufferbelly Rail-to-Trail and the Salomon Farm Trail to experience Fort Wayne in a whole new way. You’ll love reconnecting with nature along the linear parkways of the Rivergreenway or learning the history of the Wabash & Erie Canal along the Towpath Trail or enjoying the many miles of new trails in southwest and northwest Fort Wayne. Load up your family and your bikes and join the fun! Helmets are strongly encouraged. For more information, call the Greenway office at 427-6228. Tuesday rides will continue through the summer. Ride locations for June, July and August will be released in the Summer Fun Times.
