Blowing Springs Park in southern Bella Vista is a scenic creekside park and a gateway to the region’s trails — with a roughly 6-mile loop that skirts cliff sides dotted with caves, waterfalls, and springs. It’s a favorite for mountain biking, hiking, and camping close to town.
Trails
Blowing Springs offers about 6.3 miles of natural-surface trails that work for both mountain biking and hiking, winding past bluffs, caves, and small waterfalls. It also serves as a trailhead into the Back 40 system, so you can extend your ride or hike as far as you like. For maps and conditions, see our sister site NWA Bike Trails.
The Park & Camping
Beyond the trails, Blowing Springs is a pretty spot to relax by the creek, with a pavilion, picnic areas, and camping that lets you stay right by the trailhead.
Cost, Parking & Location
Trail access is free, with parking at the park (camping is paid). Blowing Springs sits in the southern part of Bella Vista, easy to reach from Bentonville.
