Parking Area for Indian Creek Wildlife Observation Area on Jordan Game Land Will Close

Raleigh, N.C. (Jan. 29, 2008) – Due to ongoing enforcement issues, the parking area at the Indian Creek Wildlife Observation Area on Jordan Game Land will close after Feb. 1. 

The site, which is located approximately 5 miles south of Durham on the west side of Hwy. 751 in Chatham County, has a history of criminal activity going back several years. Escalating complaints in recent months involving public nudity, solicitation and harassment have prompted the closure out of concern for public safety.

Managers of the site are evaluating alternative sites for re-locating the observation platform from the Indian Creek area and will work as quickly as possible to re-establish the platform and wildlife-viewing opportunities at a safer location.
