Next to the visitor's center at Shelby Farms lies Patriot Lake. It has a nice 1.67 mile loop that circumnavigates the entire lake. Nice place for a quick run when you don't have much time. Caution - watch out for the rollerbladers.
Shelby Farms is loacted between Mullins Station Road and Walnut Grove Road. From the west, you can take the Walnut Grove road exit off I-240 and go east to the third stop light. You will see the park on both sides of the road. Turn left at the light and drive stright into the park. You will see Patriot Lake on your right and the Bison and Longhorn Range on the left.
From the east, follow Walnut Grove or Mullins Station until you see the signs.
