Clear Creek (Salt Creek tributary)

[3] Clear Creek crosses downtown Bloomington via underground pipes.

Clear Creek flows into Salt Creek near the southern border of Monroe County, south of Harrodsburg and a short distance downstream from the dam of Lake Monroe (38°59′40″N 86°30′49″W / 38.99444°N 86.51361°W / 38.99444; -86.51361).

Bloomington Rail Trail crosses the West Fork Clear Creek over a 150-feet-long wrought-iron bridge, which was originally built in Warren County in 1887, and re-installed at its present location (39°6′30″N 86°32′35″W / 39.10833°N 86.54306°W / 39.10833; -86.54306) on August 1, 2003.

Besides the street runoff from Bloomington, Clear Creek also receives the effluent from the city's Dillman Road Wastewater Treatment Plant.
