Shelton

Stretch out or play catch at shady Kneeland Park, a summer picnic spot favorite. Kneeland Park also has one of the most interesting children's playground and climbing gyms in the state.

Another favorite pasttime is a walking tour through the historic "timber baron" neighborhood downtown, which parallels a small creek winding lazily throughout the town's core. During spawning time in late summer and early fall, migrating salmon can be observed traversing this miniature waterway on their journey home.

June brings the annual Forest Festival & Parade, a Shelton trademark that honors its logging heritage.
