Hot Springs National Park features 26 miles of interconnected hiking trails that weave directly out of historic downtown Hot Springs into the forested Ouachita Mountains. It is one of the most accessible urban-adjacent hiking destinations in the U.S.
- Grand Promenade & Peak Trail: Ideal for quick outings, this route starts steps behind Bathhouse Row on a brick walkway before ascending to the Hot Springs Mountain Tower for 360-degree mountain views.
- Hot Springs Mountain Trail: A gentle 1.7-mile loop around the mountain summit, offering scenic overlooks and easy terrain suitable for casual walkers.
- Goat Rock Trail: A moderate 1.1-mile path on North Mountain leading to exposed novaculite rock outcrops with sweeping views of the Ouachita valley.
- Sunset Trail: The longest single trail in the park at 10 miles, cutting through quieter, remote sections of West and Sugarloaf Mountains for full-day treks.
