The Darden Road counter was added this year to the domain previously occupied by the Pumpkinvine Trail – Elkhart County, Pumpkinvine Trail – Middlebury, Pumpkinvine Trail – Shipshewana and Millrace Trail. The counts for pedestrians and bicyclists recorded by each counter are presented in this report. Data from the counters are transmitted for analysis to a website maintained by the Michiana Area Council of Governments.

Most trail users travel in one direction and then return so the numbers counted should be divided by two for estimating the number of people using the trails. Also, the Darden Road, Elkhart County and Shipshewana counters failed to work for part of 2022 so the counts presented below are low. The gaps in the line graphs reveal the times of the failures.
