Pumpkinvine Trail with Friends & Family

Heritage Trail Driving Tour 2

 

Are you a family who likes to DO something after a big feast, or enjoys getting out in nature together?  Then head on over to the Pumpkinvine Trail.

Hike or bike on  the trail that follows the deserted Pumpkin Vine Railroad that connects the communities of Goshen, Middlebury and Shipshewana.   The connected trails total 25 miles, but there are a number of trail access points allowing you to enter or exit.
