Description
While not a rail-trail, the Rivergreenway is a 23-mile linear park within the cities of Fort Wayne and New Haven in Allen County, Indiana. The trail is located along the banks of the St. Marys, St. Joseph, and Maumee Rivers. This natural corridor provides an opportunity for recreation, fitness and conservation while getting away from it all but still being linked close to everything. It is also utilized as a means of alternative transportation. In the coming years, this trail network will be connected, via the Wabash-Erie Canal Towpath Trail, with a series of trails in southwest Fort Wayne, providing recreation enthusiasts with a 40-mile east/west corridor across the County. Also planned is a rail--trail in northwestern Allen County which will also link up with the Rivergreenway.
