•Hiking / Walking / Running
With
all the natural beauty of the Shell Lake area, hiking / walking
opportunities abound!
The
City of Shell Lake itself is a great place for a walk - the town
is quiet and the traffic light. The City's Main Street has
recently been renovated - new street lights provide a well-lit
evening setting. Memorial Park and the lakefront are also a
wonderful place for a stroll.
For
those who would like a little mo re nature and a little less
development, there are several miles of interlaced walking trails
(Sawyer Creek Trails) through forests within the city limits on
land belonging to the City and School District. The trails
are located behind the Indianhead Arts Center and include such
attractions as the headwaters of Sawyer Creek, a Class A trout
stream, and a prairie restoration project (by the school) on an
old football practice field. The trails can be a bit rugged
and there are several hills.
