Meeman-Shelby Woodland Loop GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park is a surprisingly pretty forest despite its proximity to the metro area of Memphis. There are a bunch of nicely-manicured trails that weave around the lumpy landscape around creek banks and hills. The hike we decided to take to check out the park follows the red-blazed Woodland Loop. The pleasant hike parallels creeks and is complete with wooden bridges and staircases. Toward the halfway point, the hike follows a paved road for a short time before getting back into the forest. The hike is also known as the "Meeman-Shelby Three Mile Loop".

A split in the trail - we went left, and the loop brought us back from the right.

On a paved road for a short time that leads to the Chickasaw Trail. This was our halfway point.
