Plantation Trail to Taylor Fork

The Plantation Trail and Taylor Fork Trail hiking circuit is a beautiful route, east of Kamas, Utah. This trail is a bit rocky, but nothing that you can’t handle with a pair of proper hiking shoes. In the summertime, this loop makes an excellent, low-traffic hike. In the winter, this route becomes a wonderful snowshoeing trail. In the seasons in between, the Plantation Trail and Taylor Fork hiking circuit remains absolutely beautiful, with budding wildflowers in the spring and fiery leaves in the fall. No matter what time of year you visit, the Plantation Trail and Taylor Fork Trail circuit is guaranteed to become a family favorite quickly.

From the Shingle Creek Campground parking area, follow the path on your left to hike southeast along Beaver Creek. From here, take the first trail on your right: this is the Plantation Trail. Sticking to your right, follow the trail as it loops around back to the Shingle Creek Campground where you began.

Back at the Campground, you can either pack up and head home or set up the tent for a peaceful night under the Utah stars.
