Description
Baño de Oro Trail is an easy 0.3-mile trail in El Yunque National Forest that winds through lush riverine forest, crossing two creeks before joining the El Yunque Trail. Along the way, hikers pass historic fish hatchery tanks from the 1930s, built during an unsuccessful attempt to breed trout in the area. Recently reopened after closure from Hurricane Maria damage, the trail surface can be slippery and prone to water accumulation in wet conditions. Access is from PR-191, km 12.25.
