A HUGE THANK YOU!! to the folks who cleared the trail behind Creeks Edge!! It was a serpentine walk most days and now no more ducking and weaving!! THANK YOU!!
I’ve been hiking this trail for years with my dog. Other dogs give her anxiety, especially large ones. There are signed posted at the entrances to the trail informing people they must keep their dogs leashed. Almost every single time we take this hike we encounter at least one unleashed dog. We always pick up our dog And our toddler and step off the trail but many times the unleashed dog Approaches us and with our hands full we have no way to defend ourselves. It’s getting to the point where we Can only bring our dog on hikes if it’s very very early in the morning before anyone arrives there. We have tried politely asking people to please keep their dogs leashes but it is clearly not working. We very much need someone ministering the griffy hiking trail. We have many dog parks for dogs off leash. I don’t take my dog there, because she would be frightened, and that’s OK. We take her to the griffy trail because the dogs are supposed to be leashed. PLEASE help. We’ve had dogs jumping up and nipping at our dogs feet and really terrifying our child while he’s strapped to my back (which we do Often because of all the unleashed dogs as well)
We were saddened this morning to find all of this fireworks trash on the Jackson Creek Trail (East Branch). As far as we know, this trail is city property and, per state law, should *not* have been used to set off fireworks. It would seem appropriate to fine the neighborhood resident who illegally used the city's property for fireworks last night. We do hope that those persons involved will also be cleaning up this fireworks trash. Thanks for your kind assistance!
Major limbs came down on the rail trail just a few 100 yards south of the Country Club parking lot.
There used to be No Tresspassing signs here after more people started going out on trails during the lockdown. Many people still think it’s part of the park. Few city people know the purple paint means the same thing. Owners of both sides of the property line must agree to use paint instead of signs. Did the city really agree to this? One guy on the path down from Olcott thought the paint marked the BHSS cross country course. If he really wants to keep people out he needs to invest in maintaining real signage or fencing.
Tree trunk/limbs down over rails to trails, less than 1 quarter mile South of That Road.
The trees overhanging the upper part of the trail between the parking lot of Olcott Park and the lower Jackson Creek Trail are not being kept trimmed. I'm not even 6' tall, and I usually have to duck around and under branches over and over. This has been an ongoing problem for months. Can tree trimming become a regular task of the park's landscapers?
I'm so confused. You at least still park on south end of Cascades Park right, just not go further?
What regulations govern the Bloomington Rail Trail? It is classified as "multi-use" and there are to be no motorized vehicles on it. However that's about all we know about the kinds of "use" the trail can accept. Can you point me to the rules governing this portion of the trail? Thank you very much! —Michael Regoli
