'Frisky Business' Putting Local Nature Trail Out of Business

PITTSBORO — It's a get-back-to-nature place, but it's also a place where some have taken those words to what some call a shocking extreme.

The Indian Creek Nature Trail along Jordan Lake has been a trouble spot for nudity and sexual solicitation for years, officials say.

And because the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission doesn't have enough officers to handle the problems there, the road leading to its entrance and the parking lot for the trail is closed indefinitely.

That's causing a problem for the New Hope Audobon Society, which for 20 years had a viewing platform on an Island at Indian Creek.
The platform blew down in a storm last year, and the group planned to rebuild it.

2. OK, I don't get it, if they're into bird-watching, why are they moving the platform?

3. LOL there is a park near where I used to live like that
It was along a river and it was a notorious cruising spot as well as a good fishing spot. I was propositioned while wearing waders and carrying a fly rod. I just looked at the dude, you can't be serious. He was though. Unfortunately for him I was fishing for bass not ass.

4. Disc Golf! It has solved that problem around here!!!
Seriously! Put in a disc golf course and then golfers will be there all the time so the park will get used and the "lovers" will not have free run.

We did that in a park in Sac that has been known since I have been born, as "fag" park. Now no problem. Golfers took over the park for the course and everyone loves it. Did it in anotehr problem park and same thing. drug dealers are gone.

Cost is about 20,000 dollars to install 18 holes with signage and cement tees.
