Taylorsville MetroPark

Love this park! If you're looking for a challenging and varied trail to hike, this park has several trails that fit the bill. Area down by the river is often wet and can be especially "sloshy" after rain or during thawing between seasons, so just plan footwear accordingly. Shorter and longer trails are available, too. Bathrooms are clean.

Great trails, well maintained and well marked. There is a 1 mi, 3 Mile, and 5 mi trail that are all in the moderate range. There is a large covered gathering area that is available for rent and a great place for events. Restrooms at the gathering area are primitive but well maintained.

Orange Trail: saw ducks, a deer, and the highlight of the hike, a black squirrel Overall, it was a nice hike, but vehicle and traffic noise can be heard on almost all of Orange. Less noise can be heard on the part of the trail that is fairly straight and follows the river.
