We would like to provide some clarification regarding the use of golf carts on the Granger Paths. We have received several inquiries and complaints lately and wanted to share the current guidelines.

Under Indiana law and St. Joseph County regulations, golf carts and scooters are permitted on multi-use paths. In fact, a portion of our paths was built specifically for golf cart use, and certain state and county grants were obtained with the condition that golf carts be allowed.

Please keep the following rules in mind to ensure everyone's safety:

- Yield to Others: Golf carts must yield to walkers, runners, and bikers at all times.

- Follow State Laws: Operators must adhere to all Indiana vehicle laws, including age limits, insurance requirements, and sobriety standards.

- Prohibited Vehicles: Other motorized vehicles—including snowmobiles, go-karts, cars, and SUVs—remain prohibited, with the exception of maintenance and service vehicles.

As Friends of Granger Paths (FGP) is an advocacy and funding organization, we do not have authority over maintenance or law enforcement. If you encounter specific issues or dangerous behavior, the current solution is to report the incident to the St. Joseph County Sheriff’s Office. You may also contact the County Council or Commission to share your feedback on these policies.

We love seeing families enjoying the outdoors and using the paths to stay connected. Thank you for your continued support in keeping our community trails safe and enjoyable for everyone.
