The river was originally a meltwater channel resulting from the melting of the Keewatin Ice Flow, part of Laurentide Ice Sheet more than ten thousand years ago.[3] The modern day Shell River is much smaller and meanders within the large valley created by its glacier fed predecessor. It is an example of a misfit stream, where a river occupies a river channel that does not match its size.[3]
The community of Shevlin is located on the Shell River east of Roblin where the river is bridged by the rail line.[1]
The Shell River Valley trail in Duck Mountain Provincial Park explores the forested areas of the river's source.[4][5] The Shell River Loop in Asessippi Provincial Park explores the valley bottom near its mouth.[6][7] The river's lower reaches are suitable for canoeing.[8]
