About Mounds Greenway
The Mounds Greenway is a sustainable plan for conservation, recreation and economic opportunity along the West Fork White River and is proposed as an alternative to the Mounds Reservoir. It will be a linear park and trail connecting the trails and parks of Muncie to the trails and parks of Anderson and the communities in between. The Greenway and Conservation Area will protect the West Fork White River as a free-flowing natural river and also conserve bottomland hardwood forest, wetlands, and riparian habitats in the river’s floodplain – an area roughly 2,300 acres in size.
