Confirmed from Blowing Springs Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park offering picnic and barbecue facilities, walking trails, and mountain bike riding.
What runners say about Blowing Springs Park
“The park itself is very well maintained and quiet although it gets busy.”
“They have an obstacle course for your bike, a beautiful river, and the spring is always 10 or 20° cooler than the regular part of the world.”
“That night there’s food and drink for sale on site, caves to explore, a creek to play in and lots of shaded picnic tables to enjoy the jazz from.”
“Great water pressure, fast WiFi, quiet setting and right on the Razorback greenway and MTB trails.”
“Cool and shaded with shallow water for all ages to play and enjoy the creek.”
Great location to hike and bike. There is good parking, a nice paved trail, and several hiking/biking trails of various levels. I would really recommend hiking the Sally trail (near the veteran's wall of honor), you can also loop back and hike Smuggler's Run which is flatter, easier, and a little less beautiful.
Beautiful place and all the biking and hiking you could ask for. Brough our little one and 2 dogs and had a great time walking the trails. The camp site is nice spaces are a little tight, but we don’t have a big camper so it wasn’t too bad. Definitely want to go back!
This is a well developed park, with RV spots, cute tiny cabins with AC, camping spots and a nice day use area called the Gear Garden that hosts Sunday evening free jazz nights that are super family friendly.
Wow! A little expensive. Not a wilderness campground. But an awesome bath house and laundry area! With a reading room and coloring books for the kids. Electric hook ups with water at each site . Great hiking/mountain biking trails
Trail conditions & character
“They have an obstacle course for your bike, a beautiful river, and the spring is always 10 or 20° cooler than the regular part of the world.”
“There’s also nice hiking and biking trails throughout the park, as well as a paved trail that traverses the park and connects it to other neighborhoods.”
“When you go all the way back through the campgrounds to the very last parking spot you will see a waterfall from the parking lot.”
“Great water pressure, fast WiFi, quiet setting and right on the Razorback greenway and MTB trails.”
“That night there’s food and drink for sale on site, caves to explore, a creek to play in and lots of shaded picnic tables to enjoy the jazz from.”
“Watch out right now with all the fallen leaves - they mask the big leaves and tree roots and I took a decent spill yesterday.”
“There was only one very full port a potty there, I would plan to not need the restroom while I was there.”
“I used the water to cool down after a long bike ride and my dog also enjoyed dipping his paws into the stream.”
“The showers are clean and accessible.”
