Place Trail Marsh first, with the test this section ran stated in full, because its classification (DF-W-38, GAP-W7-P6) is this section's open flag. The banked conflict: an old aggregator's "Place Trail Marsh County Park," 372 acres, against the Indiana Register's DNR designations of 2021 and 2023 as "Place Trail Marsh Gamebird Habitat Area," the ground absent from the county parks' current unit list, containment in Lincoln Township settled. Joseph County is not among its counties. (2) The DNR's nature-preserve list for St. Joseph County does not include it. (3) No DNR property page for Place Trail Marsh was found in the Fish & Wildlife properties system. (4) No named trail, mileage, or public walking designation for the ground appears in any register reached — if it is a gamebird area of the program class, the program's own rules would make it a closed ground, not a walking ground. The classification therefore stays open on the same settlers (the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife property file; the county parks board minutes), but the walking verdict can be printed: Place Trail Marsh carries no designated public trail in any current register reached, and it is told here as habitat ground at boundary size, not as a hike. The Kankakee Fish & Wildlife Area, the township's southern pointer ground, takes the same verdict at its own size: DNR's property page states outright, "While there are no designated trails, there are mowed lanes that can be used to explore the property," with waterfowl resting areas closed to hiking year-round, bicycling allowed on paved and gravel roads open to vehicles, and no mountain-bike trails. Its acreage prints unmerged, as banked: 4,199 acres on the DNR property page against 4,554 acres on the DNR property map (© 08/2025, "Established 1923"). The 4.4-mile loop a trail app maps across it is a user-mapped route over those mowed lanes, not a DNR designation, and prints as such. Closure: DUG — both grounds told at trail level; the Place Trail Marsh classification remains an open flag, with this section's register test returned as a delta candidate.
