Trail Name: Shelton Greenway
Town: Shelton
Trail Conditions: Good, some crusty, frozen ground, thin icy crust on the puddles, some blowdowns, everything rideable
Observations/Information: Parked at the Shelton High School parking lot instead of where I usually park on Rt 108 at the powerlines. Rode with a different group who showed me new trails and we rode some trails that I usually ride in one direction, in the other direction. Some blowdowns, crusty ground, icy puddles, everything rideable. Unfortunately, some of the trails have been covered with a rock and sand mixture which has been packed down. Although it is rideable, this section of the trail is no longer challenging. On a positive note, there is still plenty of single track available, hopefully they, whoever they are, will not cover more trails.

"They" would be the City of Shelton, and the gravel path is called the Shelton Lakes Recreation Path, which has been planned for nearly 20 years. This is a 4-mile handicapped accessible multi-use path that goes from Pine Lake to Huntington Center. The last half-mile section will be constructed in 2012. Most people are not able to ride mountain bikes and this is actually our most popular trail by far. Most of the trail mileage at Shelton Lakes is still not surfaced and will not be.
