Construction Zones 2002

We began three ambitious trail projects in 2002: southern extensions of the Fall Creek Trail and the Monon Trail, and Phase 1 of the Eagle Creek Trail.

At left, the Fall Creek and Monon Trails meet in the 3600 block of Fall Creek Parkway, while the sunlit woods are part of the route for the new Eagle Creek Trail.
