National Trails Day 2026 was more than a celebration of trails, active transportation, and the outdoors. It was a remarkable day of milestones, partnerships, and community impact across Northwest Indiana.

On May 5-6, leaders, advocates, planners, public officials, and community partners gathered at the Omni Severin Hotel in downtown Indianapolis for two days of bold conversations, mobile workshops, networking, and visionary thinking focused on creating safer, healthier, more walkable, and more bikeable communities across Indiana.
