Rumsey Park Water Tower Trail

This is a small but very scenic trail right in the middle of Payson.  The trail starts near Taylor Pool. Park on the far west side of the parking lot by the pool and the trail is a short distance up a dirt path, starting to the south. Traversed clockwise, it weaves through several switchbacks, across a dirt service road that leads to the water tanks and continues to weave up and around the hill. The path is wide and the turns easy.  Hikers should be on the look out for Mountain Bikers as it is a favorite trail. The trail continues all the way around the hill, taking in sweeping views of the town at every turn. It truly is one of the best ways to see Payson from a bird’s-eye view. While the trail climbs, total elevation gain is 80 feet.
