Embark on the Taylorsville Metropark Orange and Yellow Trail Loop for a moderate hiking adventure. This route spans 5.1 miles (8.2 km) and involves an elevation gain of 293 feet (89 metres), typically taking around 2 hours and 11 minutes to complete. You will follow a mostly wide dirt path, winding through natural surroundings with views of Twin Creek and massive trees in the bottomlands. Be sure to notice the charming Wooden Bridge you'll cross along the way.
Before you head out, be aware that parts of the trail can flood after heavy rains, so it's wise to check local conditions beforehand. Parking is generally available at the Taylorsville MetroPark trailheads, making access straightforward. This trail is best enjoyed when the weather is dry to avoid muddy sections and potential flooding.
This loop offers a unique opportunity to explore the area's natural beauty, including a close-up view of the impressive Taylorsville Dam. The terrain is generally forgiving, with no particularly steep slopes, making it accessible for many hikers. It's a great way to experience the park's diverse landscape and waterways.
