Shelton Lakes Greenway From Bridge to Bridge

Slideshow begins at Pine Lake near downtown Shelton then follows the Bridge-to-Bridge Route through the Greenway, passing the following features: Pine Lake, School Campus, Silent Waters, Hope Lake (Nells Rock Res), Eklund Garden, Nells Rock area, Huntington Woods, the Lane Street Land Trust Meadow, and ends in Huntington Center where the trails volunteers typically hang out after an event -- the Huntington Street Cafe.

The Greenway is about 500 acres. The "Bridge-to-Bridge Route" follows the Shelton Lakes Recreation Path (improved section), turns left on orange-blazed Dominick Trail near Hope Lake, then turns right onto the Rec Path once again (blazed yellow - this portion is just a hiking trail) in the Nells Rock area. Maps are at www.sheltontrails.org. Don't try this route without a map! There are several easy-to-miss turns.

I heard about the bobcats on the trails. Didnt know if it was true or not

[sheltontrails]

Yes, the bobcat photo was taken from Bridget Kelly's house at the end of English Lane, which backs up to the Greenway and Nells Rock Trail. Also there are many coyote in there, but no one seems to have a picture of them in there.

Thanks for putting this together - it looks like it was a lot of work. It makes me want to go biking on the RecPath. When will the City complete it out to Huntington Center I wonder?
