Pumpkinvine Nature Trail for the Diverse Landscape

Pumpkinvine Nature Trail for the Scenic Hikes 1

 

If you are looking for diverse landscapes, the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail offers three distinct settings along its path.  The trail system passes through urban areas, small towns and farming regions.

The  16.5- mile trail, that follows the abandoned Pumpkinvine railroad, connects Goshen, Middlebury and Shipshewana.  Each is a unique community, with the farming regions in between, including the third largest Amish community in the United States.
