Phase 1 of the Clear Creek Greenway Trail was completed in 2015. Phase 1 runs approximately 1 mile one way from 7th Street in Shelbyville near the rail road bridge to Washington Street in Stratton Bottom Park along Clear Creek. This trail is a concrete/paved trail ideal for walking, running, bicycles, rollerblades, and others along the shaded creek bank of Clear Creek. No motorized vehicles are allowed. Phase 2 and 3 will eventually connect Clear Creek Park/Lake Shelby with Red Orchard Park on the south side of Shelbyville on Kentucky Street and will be approximately 5.5 miles one-way.
