The Rivergreenway is owned and maintained by the Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation Department, the City of Fort Wayne Public Works Department, and the New Haven/Adams Township Parks & Recreation Department.
The Rivergreenway is an impressive 30-mile linear park that is part of a growing network of trails in the cities of Fort Wayne and New Haven. The Rivergreenway connects neighborhoods, historical attractions, waterways, and 15 city parks. The trail consists of three main pathways, named for the rivers they parallel. Namely, the banks of the St. Marys, St. Joseph and Maumee Rivers.
A park such as the Rivergreenway is ideal for activities such as bicycling, hiking, nature study, jogging, rollerblading or just going for a leisurely walk. The Rivergreenway offers scenic overlooks and natural vistas. It affords users the opportunity to enjoy the best of both urban and country settings. The Rivergreenway creates a natural overflow and serves to mitigate the ravages of flooding.
The Rivergreenway has been funded mostly by the State of Indiana and the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund. The Rivergreenway provides a great opportunity for recreation, fitness and conservation, as well as providing an alternative transportation network safely connecting the community.
