Please complete East Fork Jackson Creek path/trail on both sides. Towards S Sare Rd side there is a small portion of trail missing and please complete trail all way to E Rogers Rd. Some Bloomington government maps show this trails was completely done the way I describe above. Also, please maintain this trail properly.
Large hackberry tree down and suspended over a rail trail just north of W Gordon Pike.
Is it possible to get a list/schedule of herbicide sprayings in Southeast park?
The page https://bloomington.in.gov/parks/trails/southeast-trail is blank. I'd like to see a map of what constitutes this trail. E.g. does it follow the creek bed and end at Sare road?
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)
After the last heavy rain in Bloomington, I noticed a large tree next to Jackson Creek on The Goat Farm is going to fall. The roots are showing and the tree is leaning over the creek water. It looks very dangerous because sometimes the children come to play in the water and they may get hurt. If no action is taken, the tree will fall down into the water and block the creek water flowing and cause more damage later. Please see the picture attached above.
On the Jackson Creek Trail between the roundabout at Sherwood Oaks Park and the Rhorer Road bridge, it would be nice to have some creek access points (minor trail spurs cut through), similar to those existing near the Sherwood Oaks Park.
Some gravel washed onto the Jackson Creek Trail near the north end and needs to be removed
On the new part of the trail south of the bridge between olcott and Sherwood oaks but maybe closer to Rhorer the trail is washed out as shown in the picture.
The bollard at the head of the Polly Grimshaw Trail has broken off its base. The bollard itself is next to the trail out of the way. At this point, there is no protection of the trail or the park from cars/trucks. It seems like at least the broken bollard should be removed from the site and ideally a new one put in place.
