The trail offers a pleasant and easy stroll along a well-lit corridor. Benches are spaced along the route, including at the lovely, landscaped trailhead at W. Marion Street. A neighborhood access point is located at the west end of Ford Street. The trail is a fantastic amenity for Shelby's already charming downtown. Trail users can enjoy local businesses' offerings before or after a trail visit.
