Association page vs DNR map, both read 2026
The trail's length is two numbers, and this build prints both. The Indiana Snowmobilers Association publishes the Buffalo Run at 63 miles of trails developed by the Michiana Trail Riders Coalition west of South Bend. The DNR's own trail map, updated 8 January 2026, publishes "the 68-mile Buffalo Run Snowmobile Trail in St. Joseph County," maintained by the same Coalition and funded through the DNR. Neither figure is merged into the other; the five-mile difference stands as the conflict the audit directed to be printed whole. The checklist's third figure was tested: no published 70-mile figure for this trail was found in the Association's, the DNR's, or any club record reached. The nearest larger number is a Michigan club officer's spoken estimate in a January 2018 Harbor Country News account — "I think they have close to 80 miles" — said of the connected Indiana trails generally, not a published Buffalo Run figure, and it is printed here as exactly that and no more.
