Pumpkinvine Friends

Today is National Trails Day AND we are exactly two weeks out from the 2022 Pumpkinvine Bike Ride! If you're waiting for your sign to get registered for the ride, then this is it! We can't wait to see you all there for another great ride! Link in our bio.

It's World Bicycle Day, and what better way to celebrate than to be out on the Pumpkinvine? The weather is looking great for a nice ride and perhaps some celebratory ice cream along the way! #worldbikeday

It's a brand-new month and a great time to be out on the trail. Any guesses to where this photo was taken?

❤️🤍💙 We would like to wish you all a safe and Happy Memorial Day ❤️🤍💙

It's the beginning of a beautiful, holiday weekend...let's make the most of it! #holidayweekend 📸 Photo taken at sunrise near the 7-mile marker.

@gilletterunning Goshen Parks Dept. said those fountains weren’t working when they were opened for the season and they’re working to get them fixed. They will keep us updated.

@FOPNT I went from running the Vine nearly daily to only doing it once or two since covids and the fountains were turned off. Hope they are on soon

Considered an invasive species, Dames Rocket, puts on a show of various purples that line the trail every year in late May. This particular section can be found near the Goshen trailhead at Abshire Park.

Ten years ago today, construction crews were working to dig the tunnel that goes under US 20! #throwbackthursday

We are only 24 days away from our 21st Annual Pumpkinvine Bike Ride and we want to see you there! Riders can choose from a 22- or a 36-mile options that stay on the trail or a 50-mile option. 👉50-mile ride map: strava.com/routes/2963912…

@gilletterunning Let me find out..

@FOPNT Speaking of abshire park....any chance of drinking water fountains on this summer?

It's a new week with new possibilities! Make time to get outdoors...what do you have planned? #MondayFunday

Did you know that there are people in our own area that don't know about the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail?! *GASP* (I know, we're just as shocked as you are!) If you were to describe the 'vine to someone who has never used it?

We are one month away from the 21st Annual Pumpkinvine Bike Ride! Not signed up yet? That's OK, we have you covered! Go to ride.pumpkinvine.org to get all of the details register. 📸 Photo taken at the 2019 Pumpkinvine Bike Ride.

It's National Bike to Work Week...how many of you are lucky enough to be able to ride into work on your bike? Extra points if you are able to take the Pumpkinvine! 😉

With 17 miles of trail that wind through three towns in two different counties, your chances of find a favorite stop are pretty good. What is your favorite place to visit along the trail? #connectingourcommunities

The weather is amazing, the sun is shining, there's a new section of trail ready for you to explore...if you're looking for a "sign" to get out on the 'vine today then this is it! 😉 Who knows where you can find this particular sign?

Large flowered Trillium are in bloom near the 4.5-mile marker and they are putting on quite the show. Park at the access lot on County Road 33 for a .5 mile walk to see these short-lived beauties!

Happy Mother's Day from the Friends of the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail.

The new Shipshewana section of the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail and Shipshewana trailhead is now *OFFICIALLY* open! It was great to see so many dedicated folks in one location yesterday for the grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony.
