No trails organization is seated in Walkerton, and none ever merges here; the succession that serves this ground is a county-and-region line of separate bodies that never consolidated. The line, as the record carries it: the Michiana Bicycle Association, the region's recreational riding club, sponsor of the annual Amishland and Lakes ride — a riding body, not a building body. The Northern Indiana Mountain Bike Association (NIMBA), a not-for-profit trail association seated at South Bend, which builds and maintains the dirt systems at Potato Creek (in partnership with the DNR, on the DNR's own page), Bendix Woods, and Rum Village, and whose signposts mark the bike/hike crossings at Bendix Woods. The Bike Michiana Coalition, the region's advocacy coalition, whose resources page gathers the riding clubs, NIMBA, the Friends of the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail, and Crossway Trails — the umbrella name the Michiana Area Council of Governments (MACOG) gives the regional network it plans. The Prairie Trails Club Inc., the volunteer support club that built and keeps the Erie Trail in Starke County to the south (see #152). The Friends of Berrien County Trails, carrying the River Valley Trail's Michigan end. And the town's own Parks Department, which keeps Scarbrough's paths as park maintenance, not as a trails program. No merger of any two of these bodies was found in the record reached — where Fort Wayne's three groups became one in 2011, Michiana's stayed many, and that non-event is printed as the succession's shape. The Parks Board's own governmental course is banked at GAP-W7-P4 and is not repeated here. Closure: MIXED — the serving bodies and their distinct roles are dug; their founding and merger dates are largely unpublished in the sources reached, settler the organizations' own corporate and anniversary records.
