About

Traveling through four counties in northeast Indiana, the Poka-Bache Connector trail will connect Pokagon State Park in Angola as the northernmost point down to Ouabache (pronounced as Wabash) State Park in Bluffton to the south. The 81-mile connector trail will join Steuben, DeKalb, Allen, and Wells counties through a multiuse trail that offers both recreational and transportation opportunities, while connecting to other trail networks in the respective counties. Once complete, it will be one of the longest connected trail routes in Indiana.

This trail, which was initially proposed in 2006 and has constructed and future sections, goes through seven cities and towns. When complete, the Poka-Bache Connector will link more than 121,000 people, 140 recreational areas, 10 libraries, and 50 schools within a mile of the trail. The Poka-Bache Connector is part of the United Trails Plan, which covers 12 northeast Indiana counties to provide an interconnected trail network within and between communities.
