Native Trees of Indiana River Walk
Not just trees.
The thriving life along our tree walk isn’t limited to just trees. You’ll find an abundance of other flora—such as shrubs, wildflowers, and invasive species—as well as exuberant wildlife that call this area home. These pages will help you identify these wonderful flora and fauna as you enjoy your walk. And by the way, dogs on leashes are always welcome on campus.

Tree Walk map
Get ready to take it all in.
Walk along the St. Joseph River as it flows through the campus of Purdue Fort Wayne and learn about native trees of Indiana. The trailhead is located at the southwestern end of parking lot 10, which is just east of the St. Joseph River and is connected to the Rivergreenway park.
The Native Trees of Indiana River Walk is a 1.25-mile, lighted, eight-foot-wide asphalt trail that features more than 100 tree species native to Indiana. The trail provides an opportunity to see live specimens of our native plants, wildlife, and other interesting organisms in an urban, easily accessible, natural setting.
The river walk also sustains the ecology of the area surrounding the St. Joseph River. Root systems of trees planted next to the river have helped prevent soil erosion and stabilized the riverbanks. In addition, the trail showcases and preserves trees that have been rapidly disappearing in urban settings.
Note: The river walk is made possible by a grant from the USDA Forest Service Northeastern Area and the IDNR, Division of Forestry, Community, and Urban Forestry program.
