( Getting Back to Nature in Fort Wayne, Indiana )
If you’re a bicycling enthusiast coming to Fort Wayne, Indiana during warm weather, by all means bring your bike and ride The Rivergreenway. Why? Because you’ll have it mostly to yourself while enjoying attractive scenery along the banks of 3 rivers. Fort Wayne is the second largest city in the State, but biking on the greenway feels like you’re in the country. The trails are mostly out-of-sight, often shrouded by trees and shrubs, invisible to automotive traffic except in a few locations. Unfortunately, the visible stretches are nothing special, and give no hint to the attractive hidden sections every bit as scenic as many state parks. On hot summer days, you can escape the sun’s scorching rays on the shadier trails. If your time is limited, try the miles between North Anthony Blvd. and the town of New Haven.
Attractive photos (emphasis on “attractive) of Fort Wayne’s Rivergreenway are not plentiful on the web. In fact “attractive” photos of any bike path are hard to find. It’s the woodsy nature of much, but not all of Fort Wayne’s greenway that makes it
a standout – a treat compared to trails with that bold “airport runway look.”
The best Fort Wayne rivergreenway web site to date offering attractive photos is:

Take a look and judge for yourself. Besides a river, you’ll see paved trails in relation to the surroundings, Lawton Skatepark, the old fort, and night ball games at The Turner’s baseball diamonds near the Coliseum.
