Sugar Creek runs through the middle of the park, making it a lovely place for hiking, horseback riding and picnicking.
Horseback riding is available for a fee.
The Archery Center is open to the public, and cross-country skiing is permitted in open areas and trails. Within the impressive Taylorsville MetroPark visitors will find wooded ravines, massive rock outcroppings and the Great Miami River. Nearly 13 miles of scenic trails, some rugged, beckon hikers. Portions of the Miami-Erie Canal and remains of the crossroads village of Tadmor entice explorers. Fishing, picnicking, sledding and cross-country skiing are other options.
