Yellow Trail is a short, easy hike in Sugarcreek Metropark, about 1.5 miles from the town of Whites Corner, Ohio. The trail is a point-to-point route of about 0.4 miles, and it is flat, with no elevation gain. The high point is 904 feet and the low point is 888 feet, so the trail is nearly level from start to finish. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 75°F and September highs around 79°F, while July peaks near 86°F. Several other trails sit about 0.1 mile away, including Orange Trial, Blue Trail and Paved Prairie Loop Trail. Caesar Creek Lake, about 9.5 miles off, offers fishing.
