The trails tests: no town system, one mountain-bike ground, and the county's snow trail at the boundary

LEGS 36/37/38 · tests run November 2026

The town itself has no trail system, and the leg prints the negative with its search: no named bike trail, greenway, rail-trail or paved path stands in the Town of New Carlisle in the record reached; the wheel-before-the-network test returns no New Carlisle bicycle club in the sources read — the town's historic wheeled corridor is the Lincoln Highway itself, the Corridors leg's ground. The county ground in the township answers differently: the mountain-bike trails at Bendix Woods, managed by the Northern Indiana Mountain Bike Association on the county parks' own page, are a documented bike system on Olive Township ground — county ground, printed as county, at the size above. The hike test closes on the same two parks: the township's walking system is Bendix Woods' five-plus miles and Spicer Lake's six-to-seven, held by the St. The snowmobile test runs to the county line of the record: the state system's cooperative trail for this county is carried whole in the South Bend build, whose ground it crosses; whether that trail or any club trail touches Olive Township ground was not settled in the sources read, and the question stands as a named gap (GAP-NC5-REC-2), settler the DNR's cooperative-trail map and the county club's route map read for the township's lines. No trail is claimed for this town that the record does not put here.
