June 2011 Ride on the Shell Rock River Trail
By Bikeusa in June, 2011
This is a very nice sub 20 mile round trip ride into two small Iowa towns of Clarksville and Shell Rock. We started in Shell Rock and toured on this shaded smooth blacktop trail to Clarksville. The trail ends on C33 and it is a road ride with shoulder into Clarkville the last mile or two. My only complaint was the lack of signs for directions. We looked for the water tower and went by instinct. Food, water, and snacks are available at both ends. This is a nice short ride and very scenic.
