Confirmed from Park 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 8 mentions

“Beautiful scenery in this part of Arkansas and can't wait for a return trip!”

This park has it all! Big swing set, huge rock-like play ground, long pavilion with a built-in brick fireplace, trail to creek with little waterfalls, from there trails continue in three different directions. Beautiful!

★★★★★ — Amanda , May 2021

A nice wooded walking and bike trail along a creek bed and around wooded area. Has parking, covered picnic structure and restrooms. A historical site within Bentonville that includes Burns Arboretum and 250 years old tree

★★★★★ — Jane , May 2022

Completely blown away at how beautiful this place is! We're from Springdale, but chose this park at random to walk our dog and have lunch. Can not wait to come back. The water areas were fantastic

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
