Geist Greenway

The Geist Greenway will be an approximately five mile pedestrian path, stretching north and south from 96th Street to 131st Street.  A typical section of the trail will be 18-feet wide, allowing for two 7-foot pedestrian lanes and 2-foot shoulders. 

The goal for this proposed Greenway is to increase connectivity for surrounding pedestrians and bicyclists in eastern Fishers, as well as provide for additional recreational opportunities within the community.

Trails & Greenways Survey

The City of Fishers is also seeking public input for the Trails & Greenways Survey to develop a better-connected network of trails and greenways throughout Fishers. Take the survey at fishers.in.us/Trails through July 31, and stop by the public open houses throughout the summer. Learn more at fishers.in.us/Trails.

Bell Ford Bridge to Connect to Geist Greenway

Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt announced the County’s new pedestrian bridge project for the Geist District that will involve restoring and relocating the Bell Ford Bridge that used to stand in Jackson County near Seymour, Indiana. 

The pedestrian bridge will provide a safe crossing over Fall Creek just west of Florida Road connecting the Geist Greenway to the County’s Geist Park. The County will seek funding support from the local MPO for the restoration project.

For questions about the Hamilton County bridge project, please contact Al Patterson, Hamilton Co. Parks Director.
