Easy terrain, minimal elevation, and completely free. The 120-foot suspension bridge is the centerpiece of the trail and it does not disappoint. Crossing it over the river with water views in both directions is genuinely nice, and kids absolutely love it. Beyond the bridge the trail continues under the historic railroad trestle which adds another layer of character to the whole experience. There are several smaller wooden bridges along the way as well and the trail crosses under Highway 74 at one point.

The natural surface is well maintained for the most part though a few spots can get muddy after heavy rain, so plan accordingly. Dogs are welcome on a leash. Wildlife is around if you pay attention, deer tracks along the river are common. Spring is said to be especially good for wildflowers along the banks. Open daily from 6am to 9pm. No restrooms on site. A really solid piece of trail infrastructure for a city this size. Shelby should be proud of this one.
