The Search Shown: Every Register Checked and Named

The checklist requires the search itself to be shown for this section, and it is shown here, register by register. First, the state system: the Indiana Department of Natural Resources' Division of Outdoor Recreation runs the Snowmobile Trails Program; its published trail map, updated 8 January 2026, and its program manual for the 2025–2027 biennium were read whole — they carry the designated trails, the funding mechanism and the rules in the entries below. Second, the state association: the Indiana Snowmobilers Association, the clubs' statewide body, publishes its own trail listing, read for this section; its Buffalo Run figure differs from the state's, and the difference prints in the modern-position entry. Third, the county club: the Michiana Trail Riders Coalition, the club that maintains the county's trail, keeps its own record — its history, its clubhouse, its grooming and its announced trail days, read here including its October 2026 clean-up. Fourth, the trail registers and the law: the registration statute and the operating code the manual prints (IC 9-18.1-14-4; IC 14-16-1-30; IC 14-16-1 whole) were read as the system's legal register. What the four registers do not hold is as much the finding as what they do: no registration series by city exists in any of them — registrations are a state record, kept by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles since 2014 — and no document in any register seats a designated trail inside Mishawaka's limits. The county's trail is Buffalo Run, in the county's western townships, South Bend's to administer and the coalition's to groom. Mishawaka's snowmobile record is therefore a record of a system at the city's edge, used by the city's riders across a township line — and the search that establishes it is printed here so the negative carries its evidence.
