On Oct. 6, The City of Shelton will celebrate the Grand Opening of the Shelton Lakes Recreation Path, a project that has been 20 years in the making.
Festivities will begin at 9:30 a.m. next to the Dog Park at the corner of Shelton Avenue and Nells Rock Road. There is ample parking across the street at the Shelton Intermediate School. We will have live music and refreshments. The Grand Opening will be held rain or shine.
At 11 a.m. there will be a “Hike & Bike” starting at the Pine Lake trailhead on Shelton Avenue (near Meadow Street).
Participants can either walk or bike four miles to Huntington Center, where St. Paul’s 200th Anniversary Chili Cook-Off will be underway.
Rides back to the trailhead parking will be offered. Children, strollers, and leashed dogs are welcome. No registration required. Raindate for the hike & bike only is Sunday at 1 p.m.
Additional information about this event and the construction of the Rec Path can be found at www.sheltonconservation.org.
