City logs record trail usage in March The Journal Gazette Health-conscious residents have outdone themselves, again, setting another record in March for trail use, the city of Fort Wayne announced Thursday. Residents last month used the local trail system more than any March on record, with 78,679 counts logged. Almost all of the trails in the nearly 125-mile trail system experienced an increase in use, a news release said. The second highest March trail count was in 2012, with 50,824 counts logged. In March 2020, when events were cancelled due to the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, 46,759 trail counts were logged. The city will begin the annual Trek the Trail Rides again this year. All rides begin at 6:10 p.m. and riders are asked to wear a helmet and bring water.
