Support Connect in Elkhart County

Connect in Elkhart County is an initiative housed at the Community Foundation of Elkhart County that brings government, non-profit and community stakeholders together around a vision of equitable, networked infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists.

As of 2022 our county had 68 miles of low-stress streets and trails. We aim to both connect and grow this network to 130 miles over the next 10 years. As a community, we can learn from the decades of work it took to craft the Pumpkinvine. Elkhart is building up its riverfront and the River District. Nappanee and Wakarusa are working on a trail connection. Middlebury is adding trails in addition to the Pumpkinvine.

The Community Foundation has pledged funding for this effort, but we also need community support. Your tax-deductible donation is an investment in the development and activation of Elkhart County’s trail network.
