Taylorsville MetroPark

Taylorsville MetroPark History

As US 40 crosses the Great Miami River, the Miami Conservancy District erected Taylorsville Dam to control regional flood waters.  Initially known as Taylorsville Reserve when it opened in 1967.  As the rails to trails movement took hold, in 1994 Taylorsville MetroPark also became part of the Horace M. Huffman Jr. River Corridor Bikeway.  Today, the park provides shady hiking trails along its limestone banks and wildflower meadows in the floodplain. Years later its trail connected to Tipp City in Miami County, and eventually ran all the way to Piqua, Ohio.
