Taken as a system from the maintainers' own listings, the trail "spine" touching this town is one park's paths at town frame, and a ring of separately owned segments at county frame — there is no continuous spine through Walkerton. Town frame, whole: Scarbrough Park's walking/hiking trails, unnamed and unmeasured in the Parks Department's publications (see #147). No other town park's page lists a trail: Place Park offers "picnic tables with pavilion, playgrounds and plenty of room to run and roam"; the Soccer Plex lists fields; Urey Park lists picnic tables and a fountain. County frame, segment by segment, each on its maintainer's listing: (1) the LaSalle Trail, St. Joseph County Parks — 3.5 paved miles from Roseland to the Indiana–Michigan line, built 2001 on an interurban corridor (see #153), part of the Indiana–Michigan River Valley Trail; (2) that River Valley Trail whole, the county's through-route — Friends of Berrien County Trails counts 24 miles of connected multi-use trail from the Mishawaka Riverwalk to Niles, Michigan, as of 2026, with a further 8-mile extension toward Berrien Springs in planning; (3) Potato Creek State Park's Paved Bicycle Trail, Indiana DNR — 3.3 miles, boat rental to the Tulip Poplar shelter, over wooded hills and past wetlands; (4) the county parks' scattered bike-pedestrian paths inside Bendix Woods, St. Patrick's, and Ferrettie/Baugo Creek (the county infographic counts one designated mountain-bike trail and fifteen launches system-wide, and prints "33+ miles of hiking trails" — a hiking figure, not a bike figure, and not moved across). South Bend's Riverwalk segments (East Bank, Northside, West Bank, Riverside, Coal Line, SR 933 Pathway) are that city's system, named here as the ring's largest pointer only; none of them reaches toward Walkerton. Closure: TRUE SIZE — the system is printed at the size the listings support: one unmeasured town ground, four county segments, no spine through town.
