The Panhandle Pathway is a 21 mile linear non-motorized recreational trail that is being developed on the old A & R Railroad corridor. It runs between Winamac and Kenneth, Indiana (approximately 1 mile west of France Park), passing through Star City, Thornhope and Royal Center.

• An off road bicycle and walking route linking Winamac, Star City, Thornhope, Royal Center and Kenneth (and eventually Logansport), and other regional bicycle routes and trails
• A place for exercise and recreation.
• A place for schools to supplement educational needs including physical fitness, team training, science, biology and other related fields of study.
• An environment to display local agriculture, north central Indiana life style and country living.
• A quiet place to enjoy nature, for walking and biking with family and friends.

Funding for the project has been provided through grants from the federal Recreational Trails Program and from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. Press Release
