The checklist names the form by its Fort Wayne and county instances — a named interpretive trail inside a park, the Native Tree Trail, the Portage Trail. Run on Mishawaka's parks, the test returns no instance at that form's strength: no trail inside a city park here carries an interpretive name in the record reached — the Riverwalk's course is interpreted at its stations and signs, but no segment of it, and no path in any city park, stands in the record under an interpretive trail's name. The form's county instances stand at the boundary, labeled as boundary. Bendix Woods County Park, in the county's west, holds the Native Tree Trail form — a named trail through the county park's beech-maple woods. South Bend holds the Portage Trail, named for the carrying place where the St. Joseph met the Kankakee portage, the oldest named route in the county's record. And the county's living interpretive form entire is Lydick Bog's: the elevated boardwalk into the sphagnum bog, with interpretive signage, built under the Shirley Heinze Land Trust's improvements and expanded in 2026 — a trail whose whole purpose is interpretation, on ground the naturalists of the first entry made famous. The test thus prints its true result: Mishawaka's parks hold walking grounds in number, told in the entries around this one, but the named interpretive trail is a county form that lives, in this county, on county and trust ground — not inside the city's park fence.
