Easy loop with Indian Caves to explore
Nell's Rock Trail in Shelton is an easy 1.56-mile loop through Shelton Lakes with Indian Caves (rock overhangs) about 100 yards uphill from the main trail, ideal for families wanting a leisurely walk with young children.
Free · Outdoor · Quiet-friendly · Small children welcome
Indian Caves require a flashlight and are located 100 yards uphill; watch for loose rocks and steep drop-offs.
White blazes can be hard to follow due to illegal ATV trails and old wood roads; pay close attention to markings.
This trail gets lighter foot traffic than nearby trails, making it quieter for a family outing.
Bring snacks and water; the loop takes most families 45 minutes to an hour depending on cave exploration.
