Nice trails

Love it here. Beautiful and well kept.

Very nice park/trail that shellsburg setup

Small hiking, educational trail. Well cared for and easily accessible any time. Great place for a short walk with the littles any time!

The entrance looks very inviting, unfortunately, I read the reviews and it sounded like the perfect place to take my dog for a walk, drove there, parked on the street, got to the entrance and the rules listed do not allow pets. I was disappointed, and we walked around Shellsurg. The park looks nice, and I understand some pet owners ruin it by not cleaning up after their animals. Bummed.
