Trails, Parks, and More

Outside and on the Move

Remember that time you flew down the hills, wind in your face, over rocks and roots? Maybe you were on foot or maybe on wheels. But even as sore as you were afterward, you were looking forward to the next time you could fly.

In Northeast Indiana, next time for a run or a ride could be whenever and wherever you’d like. It could be as soon as you step out of the office, when you walk out your front door, during your Fort4Fitness training, or during your commute from work to home. 

With nearly a hundred miles of trails, ranging from mountain-bike pathways to urban asphalt bike lanes to wide sidewalks, you can wind your way through the trees, across the rivers, between the city blocks that make up downtown, or down a path that once carried steam engines.

We work hard here—sweating, building our muscles, making our lungs scream and our hearts pound. Here, being active isn’t just a hobby. It’s a way of life celebrated by thousands. We run, push, and walk in races across the region. We commute to work on anything less with than four wheels. We take to the trails with the family in tow every weekend.

Are you ready to get outside and on the move? Join us and let’s make our next adventure in Northeast Indiana.
