Shell Brook trail is around 4 miles of flat trail in total in 4 sections. It has small features that make it a fast flow trail suitable for all abilities. It is broken into 4 sections which pay attention that it crosses bridleways and multi-use paths at a couple of intersections which is not a problem to avoid other users. There are a series of bumps and berms that are easily negotiated to develop trail skills. The trail is through trees and open fields which there is good drainage but with sections of chunk, loose gravel and wet leaves (autumn)/ ice (winter). It is a straightforward track that enjoys use by local cyclo-cross and MTB for basic HIT training., and on occasion you can hear the Trampa esk8 tearing it up!
