The middle trail with bridge across main creek is really over grown, very difficult to walk let alone ride.
there is a broken board on a bridge on south side of park.
There is a birch tree vandalized with racist hate. Vertically, in large letters, is the N word and above it is carved the initials of the KKK. I hope something can be done to erase this message of hate from this beautiful bike trail. To find the vandalized tree, start at the parking lot with the yellow gate and take a left, through the grassy field with the pile of logs to the right. Continue the trail until you get to what I call the staircase of roots. At first, the birch tree in question will be to the right, but to see the hateful message, you'll have to turn around so it is to your left.
Just want to give a shoutout to the whole parks department on the excellent work with the new south shore trail. Fantastic connection and lots of fun to run tonight. Thanks for all your hard work.
After the north shore trail is complete, I do think it’s worth pursuing a full lake loop in collaboration with IU. A connection from the existing IU RTP to the Lanaam Trail would create a full Griffy Lake loop that would make an amazing trail system even better. It would also become a favorite of every trail runner in the area - a 10 mile loop this close to town would be fantastic!
I noticed on the accessible bump-out that there is a rail to help prevent wheelchairs from ending up in the lake. My suggestion is that all of the bump-outs should have this same safety railing. My son is in a power wheelchair that is more than capable of making it to the smaller bump-outs. Thank You, Douglas Toms
Yikes! What happened to Lanam and Griffy creek trails. Both are impossible to hike and disappearing. I tried Griffy trail and it was a no go so I turned around and crossed the creek to try Lanam but it was even less walkable. Also, Hiking trail has a tree down.
there are two trees across griffy creek trail past lanam trail, there maybe more but trail is too overgrown right now.
B line trail from Henderson to south walnut is a mess. There are hypodermic needles, lots of dog feces, clothes, garbage and debris. The needles are dangerous and disgusting.
