SPECIAL NOTICES
NOTICE OF TRAIL CLOSURE
I know, this is horrible news. But it is only temporary.
From Monday, October 12 to Friday, October 16, 2026, a section of the Fishing Line Trail will be closed. No access will be available between Sawyer Road and CR 800 N. This includes the trailhead at CR 600 E.
During the week, crews from ACRES Land Trust will be in this section of trail working to remove invasive tree species, such as tree of heaven, honeysuckle, and autumn olive. Some of these trees are very large; for the safety of the public and the crews, closing the trail for a week is the best way of getting this work done.
While we don't want to close the trail, we understand that some people use the trail for a transportation route, not just for a recreational facility. So, for those who have to get between Kendallville and Rome City, with caution, the closure can be bypassed with a detour on local roads, CR 800 N and Sawyer Road.
Our partnership with ACRES Land Trust for this work benefits both Noble Trails and ACRES. ACRES gets some much-needed income to maintain their properties, while also helping to reduce the spread of invasive species that would certainly affect their properties. Noble Trails gets crews with expertise on how to remove these plants that choke out the beautiful native trees and plants that grow along our trails.
ACRES will work as quickly as they can to get the trail back open. We will post if the trail opens sooner than Friday. But, we really ask that all of our patrons understand why we have closed the trail, and ask that, for your safety and theirs, you please do not enter into the closed areas of the trail.

Benefits of Trails
When you mention trails, most people think about recreation. But, communities with trails receive a wider range of benefits than just a park-like way to relax.

Economic Boost

Better Quality of Life
The Fishing Line
This trail will become part of the Fishing Line Trail, which we hope to see in the future connect Noble County to Fort Wayne and to Lagrange County. Currently, Noble Trails has acquired ownership to several sections of the former railroad corridor, and we have recently opened a 1.25 mile section with an improved walking surface.
About Noble Trails
