Burn off any extra energy at Red Fern Riding Center at Shelby Trails Park. This park features gorgeous hiking trails that are available for free, but you can also have a private, guided horseback ride for up to 5 people.

Lose yourself as you wind your way through Greenway Trails. Whether you explore by foot, bike, or rollerblades, there are a number of styles to enjoy the vast greenery. If you’re lucky you may even spot a deer or turtle during your visit. With the trail located right off a creek, a night stroll is a must to take in the tranquility of mother natures’ work.
