A leafy loop around Lake Shelby offering mixed woodland, shoreline vistas and small inlets — strong for seasonal color, reflected-water compositions and intimate forest details. Trail is mostly gravel/dirt, free to access with parking at the Lake Shelby picnic lot; best light around sunrise/sunset and in autumn for foliage. Weekday mornings are quieter; expect muddy sections after rain and bring insect repellent in summer.
