Confirmed from Fort Wayne Trails' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

What runners say about Fort Wayne Trails

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (22 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

They are really improving on linking all the trails....I have enjoyed walking or biking most of them!

★★★★☆ — D. , Aug 2016

Fort Wayne has most likely the best trail system for a city as small as it is, and it grows and improves every year!! I've ridden on the trails since I was a lil kid when it was basically one trail that could take me from Johnny Appleseed park to southtown mall.

★★★★★ — Big , Jul 2018

My wife and I had read about the trail and not having anything to do on a Saturday afternoon decided to throw our bicycles in the truck and check it out. We left the truck in New Haven and rode our bicycles into downtown Fort Wayne.

★★★★★ — Tony , Sep 2017

I'm a regular cyclist, and am always sure to hit up the trails when i go somewhere for work. I was really impressed with these trails. The maintenance was above average, and plenty of scenic riding.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
