Bloomington Rail Trail Explained

Bloomington Rail Trail is a 2-mile multi-use gravel path in Bloomington, Indiana. It connects with the B-Line Trail at Country Club Drive and Clear Creek Trail at Church Lane. Benches and a drinking fountain are located at the intersection with Country Club Drive intersection.[1] Trailheads are located on Country Club Drive, Tapp Road, That Road, and Church Lane.[1] Trees border much of the trail used by runners, walkers and cyclists.[2] In March 2018, the city of Bloomington closed a portion of the trail for several days in order to remove invasive species of plants (Asian bush honeysuckle and wintercreeper).[3]

In 2019, an extension south called the Limestone Greenway trail was constructed.[4] It crosses Dillman Rd and ends in a dead end, separated by a farm property from Victor Pike.
