Baño de Oro Trail
This is a short trail that takes you along a river through lush forest. You will pass Baño de Oro and also old fish hatchery tanks from the 1930’s. These tanks were an attempt to breed trout, but were unsuccessful as the fish did not want to spawn in the climate. You will cross over two creeks before merging with El Yunque Trail.
The trail originates at PR 191, km 12.25 about 50 yards south (up) from the Palo Colorado Visitor Information. Parking is available at the Palo Colorado Visitors Center parking lots and at a designated area on the road across from the trailhead.
