We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Shelby Trails Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Shelby Trails Park
Love coming here for hiking and riding. We're so lucky to have this park close to home.
I ride here often. Nice clear trails, lots of shade. Great for training, conditioning or social rides. It's about an hour ride in one direction, lots of options to extend ride. There is a nice cross county course for most levels. I wouldn't drive for hours to come here but I am local, it's great.
Frist time I have every went with my horses, the trails where vary we'll kept, staff was vary friendly and answered all my questions, all the trails where marked, their were a few confusing areas but we didn't get lost. Vary pretty place to ride horses. Definitely going back again.
Went to the park to check out their new xcountry course. They have 3 levels, Starter, BN and Novice in 3 fields. They are great and safe starter fences. Well build and nicely painted. In a public park! We practice jumping and then went on a great trail ride. Thank you
