Hot Springs National Park

Hot Springs National Park is a pet-friendly destination that surrounds the north end of the city of Hot Springs, AR. You can no longer sit in the natural hot springs in the woods here, but you and Fido can explore 26 miles of trails with interesting rock formations, wildflowers, and beautiful scenery. There are trails of varying length and difficulty, so there's something for everyone. Those interested in historic buildings might also enjoy a stroll down Bathhouse Row and the Grand Promenade. Pets must wait outside the visitor center and other park buildings if you decide to go inside. Visit Website

    Very dog friendly!

    Floki could join us all over the park (except inside - which is just common sense!) the rangers were awesome and he even got his BARKranger certificate ❤️❤️

    Nice trails, happy pup

    Stopped here when passing through on a road trip, enjoyed the trails and being able to move around after hours in the car. Signage for the trails could be improved, but overall nice park.

    Dog Friendly City & Park

    Lots of great dog friendly restaurants and businesses in this town! We went in the middle of June and it was very hot. I would recommend taking this trip in early spring or fall to help prevent doggie dehydration. The heat is my only complaint! :)

    Very dog friendly park

    Dogs welcome almost everywhere except in the museum. Lamar bathhouse store allows dogs and love them. We only hiked the peak trail but enjoyed it. Drove up both mountains and spend some time at their Bark ranger celebration event.

    Great place for the Whole family

    We didn’t do any of the more strenuous trails, but we enjoyed the easier trails with the dog, and we took some of the scenic drives with the windows down for all to enjoy the fresh air. With so many pet friendly restaurants along Bathhouse Row, it was easy to make a day of activities.

    Great Trails

    Good trails and easy for the dogs to join us. We spent the weekend doing a few different trails and it was nice to hike with the pups then head into town straight from some of the trails for refreshments at many dog friendly places nearby. This is definitely a place you can bring your fur babies with you and not worry about leaving them behind. very dog friendly area.

    Beware of ticks

    This is a cool place to go however, at the end of our 3 hr hike we spent the rest of the afternoon picking out hundreds of ticks out of our furr baby and a few off of us. We ended up having to purchase tick shampoo to finish them off. This put a dent into our weekend get away. Now we are afraid to explore more parks.

    Great Hiking

    Beautiful views, nice trails with varying degrees of difficulty, very dog-friendly National Park. Went in late April and trails had few visitors. We hiked 6.7 miles and did both Hot Springs Mountain and West Mountain in the same day.

    Dog Friendly N.P.

    Great place to hike with the our dog. Connected Goat Rock, Gulpha Gorge, Hot Springs Mountain, and Upper Dogwood trails for a perfect morning hike. The Grand Promenade and Bathhouse Row are a nice short 20-30 minute stroll.
