Descrption:
Bloomington is a very bike and trail-friendly city and features 2 major
rail-trails. Both rail-trails start at Tapp Rd./Country Club Rd. top the
north and intersect near Church Lane and Clear Creek. The Bloomington
Rail-Trail continues southward to Dillman Rd., southwest of SR37. The
1887 Harris Ford Bridge spans Clear Creek at Church Lane just south of
the intersection of the two trails; this impressive bridge was relocated
from Warren County in 2003.
Future Plans: The
B-line trail will bring the trail northward into
downtown Bloomington. There is also hope that the trail will one
day continue southward toward Bedford.
