Shelby Township provides an escape for nature lovers within many of its parks. Home to more than 100 species of native birds and animals, including nesting American bald eagles, and more than 80 species of trees, shrubs and wildflowers, it's hard to not fall for the township's beauty.

Shelby Township is also home to some of the state's premier hike and bike trails with strategic locations on several statewide and regional trail systems.

Among these trails is the western-most portion of the Macomb Orchard Trail, which spans from the township's border with Rochester and ends in downtown Richmond. In full, the Macomb Orchard Trail is a 24-mile hike and bike path that connects to 180 miles of trails across southeast Michigan.

The township is also home to a critical connection of the Macomb County 70-mile trail loop and the Iron Belle multi-use trail, ultimately connecting the City of Detroit to the Upper Peninsula's western tip. Shelby Township's trails offer residents and visitors a mix of scenic "up-north" hikes and Michigan Department of Transportation standard asphalt bike paths to meet all recreation needs.
