Parks & Trails

Hot Springs is an oasis of clean, safe, well-funded, and maintained interconnected parks, open spaces and trails.

Hot Springs National Park

Hot Springs National Park has a rich cultural past. It stands as an icon for healing and a tribute to the “American Spa” of the 20th century. The grand architecture of our nine historic bathhouses is equally matched by the natural curiosities that have been drawing people here for hundreds of years. The ancient thermal springs, mountain views, incredible geology, forested hikes, and abundant creeks – all in the middle of town – make Hot Springs National Park a unique and beautiful destination. With 26 miles of hiking trails in the Park, you can find great views, beautiful forest scenery, and feel like you're not in the City. The Grand Promenade is great place to see many types of birds as it hosts both deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs. Annual Christmas Bird Count - From December 14 through January 5, all around the country families, students, birders and scientists - armed with binoculars, bird guides, and checklists - go out on an annual mission, often before dawn. See over 9,000 birds with 113 different species.

Garvan Woodland Gardens

Welcome to Garvan Woodland Gardens, the botanical garden of the University of Arkansas. Nestled in the picturesque Ouachita Mountains of Southwest Arkansas, the Gardens are a wonderful gift to all people from local industrialist and philanthropist Verna Cook Garvan. Garvan Woodland Gardens’ mission is to preserve and enhance a unique part of the Ouachita environment; provide people with a place of learning, research, cultural enrichment, and serenity; develop and sustain gardens, landscapes, and structures of exceptional aesthetics, design, and construction; and partner with and serve communities of which the Gardens is a part. From the dynamic architectural structures to the majestic botanical landscapes, Garvan Woodland Gardens offers breathtaking sights (and fantastic photo opportunities) at every turn.

Perfect for a day of XC riding or ripping down the flow trails catching some air. The trails include Green, Blue and Black singletrack, multi-track, flow trails and jump lines. Northwoods’ Lucky 13 Black Diamond Downhill Trail brings riders from near and far to experience the big berms, steep step-ups and step-downs and gap jumps. Not at the Lucky 13 level just yet? No worries, riders also love hitting Blue Jay and Ragnarok, two of the favorite intermediate flow trails where the features are just a bit smaller but loads of fun. There are four trailheads within the Northwoods System. Bicycle Rental -https://spacitycycling.com
