Recreation in Hot Springs Village,
Arkansas
Trails
Hot
Springs Village has over 20 miles of structured trails within its gates for
walking, cycling, and golf cart traffic.
A Hot
Springs Village trails brochure provides comprehensive information on each
trail, its location, length, and a map of the trail. Available parking areas
for each trail are also provided.
An
overall village map with marked trail locations is also contained in the
brochure.
The
brochure is available at each trail head, and is also available at the POA
Administration Building, 895 DeSoto Boulevard.
The
future of Hot Springs Village trails include an extension of the Hernando
Trail eastward, past the Ponce de Leon Center, to the east crossing of Ponce
de Leon Drive and DeSoto Boulevard. This will create an 8-mile Hernando
Trail.
A
connecting trail from the east portion of the Hernando Trail to the Balboa
Spillway Trail along Ponce de Leon Drive, and a connecting trail from the
west end of the Hernando Trail to the DeSoto Spillway Trail are also in the
current trails construction plans, which would make it possible to walk via
the trails from the DeSoto Dam in the west end of the Village to the Balboa
Dam in the east.
Future trail construction also includes a new trail in the east portion of
the Village, approximately three miles, crossing DeSoto Boulevard near Risco
Way.
