Blue Trail is a short, easy hike in Twin Creek Metropark in Ohio, a city-managed park about 0.4 miles long. It rises from 695 feet to 802 feet, with a total gain of 96 feet, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.35 miles in, with a 5% grade. The trail is a point-to-point route, so it works well as a quick outing or a link between other paths in the park. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Franklin, Ohio, run to highs around 74°F in May and 79°F in September, with July the warmest at about 86°F. Horses are allowed on the trail, but bikes are not. The trip takes about half an hour, and the Red Trail lies just 0.2 miles away. The Yellow Trail is about 0.6 miles off, and the Orange Trail and Purple Trail are within about 2 miles.
