Taylorsville MetroPark is an area of transportation history surrounded by natural beauty. In 1839 National Road passed through Tadmor just to the north. For fifty years National Road was the busiest roadway in the country. With the construction of the Taylorsville Dam the road was rerouted to bring travelers across the top of the dam. Always a means for east/west travel the road was heavily used through the 1950s Golden Age of Automobiling. The paved areas now used for walking and picnicking were once overnight car camping spots. Today explore the park on foot, hiking the trails or sledding in the winter.

The Blue Trail is roughly one-mile in length and begins in West Park, near the Hilltop Shelter. This peaceful trail will take hikers past a tall grass prairie and pond at the base of the sledding hill. Mature trees offer year round beauty and home to several woodpecker species.
