Is Blowing Springs off-leash or fenced?

Neither. It is an on-leash multi-use park with no fenced dog area, so keep dogs leashed throughout.

Are the trails safe to share with bikes?

Mountain bikers move fast on the shared trails and come through quickly. Leash up tight and step aside when you hear them approaching.

Where is the waterfall?

It sits behind the campground at the very last parking spot, visible from the lot, not at the main trailhead.

Does it stay cool on hot days?

The shaded creek-bottom canyon runs noticeably cooler than open trails, so it holds up well in summer heat.

Only a single porta-potty serves the trail, and it can be overrun on weekends. Plan accordingly.

About this park

An on-leash multi-use park along the Razorback Greenway with paved walkways, hiking trails, shallow caves, and a small waterfall behind the campground. The terrain is shaded creek bottom for most of the loop, which keeps it cooler than nearby trail systems on hot days. It doubles as an RV park, and bike traffic is heavy on the shared trails.

Blowing Springs Park reviews

What visitors consistently say

The highlights

Reviewers praise the paved walkway for stroller-and-leash ease, the caves and waterfall as scenery payoffs, and the canyon shade that keeps temperatures down in summer.

The community

A mix of cyclists, hikers, and RV campers passing through on the Greenway. Less of a dog-walker regulars scene than a steady stream of visitors.

Before you go

Mountain bikers share the trails and move fast, so leash up tight and step off when you hear them. The waterfall sits behind the last parking spot in the campground loop, not at the trailhead. The single porta-potty is sometimes overrun on weekends.
