As of November 2026 the modern position is three facts and a climate, and it is printed at exactly that size. First, the club state: the Michiana Trail Riders Coalition stands in the DNR's 2025–2027 program manual as a current cooperating club under contract for the Buffalo Run, and the Buffalo Run map itself was reissued 8 January 2026 — the county's trail is alive, funded, and mapped, wholly outside this township. Second, registrations: Indiana registers snowmobiles through the BMV at 30 dollars for three years, and neither the BMV nor the DNR publishes a registration count at town or township level in any source reached — no Walkerton registration figure exists to print, and none is estimated. Third, the town's position inside the system is unchanged from #166: no designated trail, no club seat, no trailhead. The climate the system waits on: South Bend's 1991–2020 normal annual snowfall is 64.5 inches (National Weather Service annual climate report), but the recent winters run under it — calendar 2024 delivered 36.3 inches, the seventh-least snow on record for the South Bend station, against 2022's 91.8 inches, the most since 2014. A trail system that opens only when posted open, on leased farmland an hour's drive from this town, in winters that now fail the normal as often as they meet it: that is the snowmobile's modern position for Walkerton, and its thinness is the record's, not this section's. Closure: TRUE SIZE — registrations at town level unpublished (settler, BMV registration data if ever released at that geography); all else dug as of November 2026.
