Activities you can enjoy
The recreational activities at Shockaloe Trail Bc 1 are limited. The campground serves as a base for the Shockaloe Trail, a 22-mile in-and-out trail primarily used for horseback riding and hiking. However, the trail itself receives mixed reviews, with some calling it 'somewhat unkept' and noting that it is 'used very little.'

Described as 'somewhat unkept,' the trail is overrun in places due to fallen trees, making navigation difficult.
