Fort Wayne Trails is 100% privately funded and relies on your support to continue our work. There are many ways to give, including a one-time donation, our monthly Trailblazer program, gifts to a Trail Hub, and more.

One of the best ways to get involved with Fort Wayne Trails is by volunteering! We offer a wide range of opportunities throughout the year, including events, trail clean-ups, maintenance projects, and office support.

Help keep local trails beautiful by adopting a section of trail! Just three clean-ups a year makes a big impact. Grab friends, neighbors, or co-workers and help make a difference in your community.

Sometimes the most powerful way to support trails is by using your voice. Writing to your local, state, or congressional representatives helps ensure continued support for trail construction and maintenance.

A letter doesn’t have to be complicated, share how you use and enjoy the trails, the impact they’ve had on your life, and why they matter to you. American Trails regularly updates information on current federal legislation affecting trails, which you may choose to reference.

Most importantly, taking the time to speak up shows elected officials that trails matter. A list of local, state, and congressional representatives can be found below.
