Rum Village Nature Center

Visit the exhibit area, sit at the bird-viewing window, or enjoy a leisurely stroll on the trails in the woods. Not far from the heart of South Bend, Rum Village is a wildlife oasis offering hiking trails, biking trails, picnic areas, and a chance to escape to the quiet calm of one of the nicest woodlands in the area.

This 160 acres of rolling woodlands is home to deer, foxes, reptiles, amphibians and numerous species of birds. With so much to see and so many new programs and activities to do, it is no wonder that so many people are rediscovering Rum Village.
