I've ridden at Taylorsville at least once a week over the last 15yrs, and the trails have been so greatly improved I can safely invite others to come enjoy. I was a little troubled when calling the contact number and finding the trail closed because of rain, however the results have been wonderful. The primitive horse camp area is the most beautiful I've ever visited.

Are you kidding me? I live right on Taylorsville lake. If it rains they close the trails for days after the rain. They speak highly about improved trails, but what good is that if you can never get on them. I would think horse trails would be expected to get rutted up and repaired regularly. Taylorsville Lake hurts for visitors and wonder why everyone passes them by. I live here and travel elsewhere to ride.

Keep in mind, Taylorsville Lake officials close trails when it is or has been raining (not an uncommon occurence in ky). You can call the hotline for updates every morning at 9:00 a.m. Something to consider when planning to camp with your horses.

Taylorsville Park has come a long way and a number of volunteers have really worked hard to improve existing trails and open new ones. The campground is clean and well maintained. It is well worth a weekend drive.

Great campground. The trails were rough and every trail we were on had at least one real steep place, however they are working on them.

The trails are much better now that they've been renovated a bit. Trails are easy to find and suitable for any level rider. Great place to spend an afternoon. Not sure if the trail system is large enough to ride for several days though.

Trails are very pleasant with little difficulty on main Opossum Ridge trail. From what we understood in talking with local riders is they had a volunteer trail improvement "workday" a few weeks before our visit to improve the trails. Maybe because it's one of the two KY state parks that offer horse camping, the facilities are simply outstanding. The rules of where you can ride your horse are strict because this park offers "non-horse" camping as well. There are other ancillary rules that are as strict but understandable of why they are in place. Campground staff, especially Rick and Cody, are exceptional. They offer that good, old Kentucky friendliness and hospitality.
