Shaver Lake Recreational Trail (SLRT)

There are thousands of miles of trails to be found in California that offers its citizens a bounty of treasures. Trails provide countless opportunities to impart a sense of well-being, while simultaneously increasing our awareness of our surrounding natural and cultural treasures. By offering a mixture of recreational opportunities in settings that generally remove us from the hustle and bustle of modern living, trails and greenways improve the quality of life in both urban and rural areas. The town of Shaver Lake is proposing to develop a multi-use recreational trail system for all to explore and enjoy while meandering through pine forests on the granite mountains of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range in the Sierra National Forest. The trail will connect the local community with the small town of Shaver Lake, while going by campgrounds, museum and by the blue waters of Shaver Lake.

The vision and mission of the trail is to establish and maintain a system of trails and greenways that serves the diverse population of Fresno County and California while respecting and protecting the integrity of its equally diverse natural and cultural resources. The system will be accessible to all for improving their physical and mental wellbeing by presenting opportunities for recreation, transportation, and education, each of which provides enhanced environmental and societal benefits.
