We saw a lot of turtles swimming or sun bathing and the kids loved that! The path itself was nice and everyone walking or biking seemed friendly and things were cleaner than my initial impression. I wouldn't swim in this lake, but there were people fishing and that seemed fun and it was a lovely 2 mile easy walk. It felt safe, too. Good for families and pretty views!!

They had a few walking bridges and a nice section by the parking lot with splash areas. The lake was much larger than I thought and had a large paved trail around it all. It was 1.8 miles total with some sections in the direct sun and some uphill so be prepared. There were a few benches and stops to rest on the trail but the only bathrooms were in the front. There were a lot of of people fishing and many concrete docks to walk out on which I thought was a great feature. I did see a lot of garbage in the water and ground and not enough trash cans for sure. Also a lot of goose poop but I guess that happens. We saw many birds, turtles, and fish which my kids liked a lot! I do recommend checking this nice lake out for fishing, nature exploring, or a nice walk.

Between the waterfall, little streams, bridges and wooded scenery, it's a beautiful place to explore without needing a strenuous hike. I also loved that there were shallow areas of the creek where kids could splash and play. Such a fun outdoor stop for families or anyone wanting an easier hike with great views. Definitely a must-visit while you're in Bella Vista!

It is then a nice easy flat ride over on 2nd to downtown or on out J to Bike Rack Brewing and the main trail.

It's a beautiful trail. I mostly frequent the Bentonville and rogers part of the trail with riding my bike and walking. For bikes there are many stops along the trail with a bike "tune up" station. I've used it to pump up my tires with their air pump. The station is free to use. There are also some water fountains and seats as well. There are numerous stops to make along the entire trail for shopping, restaurants, museums, etc. You can find the trail map online so you can plan your route! There are also many convenient parking lots to park and hop on the trail. I love how this area is so bike/hike/walk friendly with all the beautiful trails.

The park is amazing, but it will need some serious upkeep to open up some trails…read more As we walked towards Crystal Bridges most of the trails were cleared, but the beauty of the trails were interrupted by the recent storm. They'll need to pick up and clear the fallen trees and debris. The trails were mostly cleared for walking, and the trail bikers didn't find any problems making their rounds, but it just wasn't its prettiest. I'm confident the City of Bentonville will get to it. It's a beautiful park with plenty of potential to get back to it's typical beauty.

BEAUTIFUL is the the one word to describe the Scenery here…read more I give this place only ONE STAR due to the people (Bicyclist) you may encounter here. Which can completely ruin your walk/hike. Most of the bicyclist are respectful. But over the last two years we've seen some real JERKS disrespect people walking through. This past Saturday was our first encounter with one of those Jerks. Pedestrians and bikers must share some of the same trails and bikers have signs that they they must yield to people walking and even notify when they are going to pass you so you're not ran over or hit by a bike. We've seen quite a few confrontations between pedestrians and bicyclist. My son and my 7 yr old niece were walking back from the bathroom as a family of 4 were walking the opposite direction were about to meet when this Moron tried to pass between them before the gap closed and hit and knock down my niece. He didn't have the patience to wait for the families to cross each other so he would have a clear path around after knocking her down he slowed down without stopping and look back and yelled "is she okay?" but didn't stop, just kept going. But then... As the JERK lay there on the ground with a bruised face, and two flat tires. I also didn't feel any concern or sympathy for him. But I still asked him if he was okay. I gave he a short lecture on karma and we left the park. Now remember not all bicyclists are that way. A lot of them are respectful and will wait or even let you know if they are ready to pass. But there are still those dumb few that don't care at all.

When we arrived, they gave us the smallest site near the RVs (site 1) even though we had not been given the option to request a specific site when we called and made the reservation. We went back and asked to switch to another site since we had a large tent and only one of the other 12 sites had someone at it. The lady at the front rudely told my mother that all the other sites were full. Over the weekend, NONE of those other sites had people at them. Not sure if 8 people just decided to not show or if the woman lied. All that being said, when reserving, request any site other than #1 if you have larger than a 2-person tent. #1 is buggy, is next to the sanitation site, and has a huge electric pole smack in the middle of it.

I went in by myself the first time to see what they had. The kayaks were nice and the prices were average but the woman manager was remarkably rude. My wife and I went back together on Mother's Day to let her pick one out. The same lady manager was overtly rude again. She then argued with me that she did NOT have the kayak I had just seen there a day earlier. So I got a different associate to go get it and I bought it. I am a life long "outdoorsman". Typically people working in the outdoor specialty industry are positive, active, people looking forward to interacting with like minded people. I am part of the 50ish year old still very active outdoors crowd that finally has good money to spend on gear for play. I will try to tell anyone listening to go somewhere else. The rudeness and lack of professionalism is NOT off-set by competitive pricing. Won't be back

Shared by hikers and bikers, for a large portion, the trails follow a nice creek. It should be noted that in the NE portion of the trails, the wastewater treatment facility "butts" up next to the trails. This means for about five minutes each pass, hikers experience an olfactory delight that motivates them to keep moving forward. This area is a VERY SMALL portion of the trails and is by no means a reason not to visit. Overall, I recommend travelers and locals to visit Park Springs Park.

We decided to buy a year pass to the CORPS parks (which includes a ton of parks). http://www.arkansas.com/outdoors/camping/corps/ A year pass was only $30. We drove down to the picnic/beach area. It had two playground areas that I could see. One was just swings and the other was a playground (slides, etc.). There were plenty of picnic tables and BBQ's. There is a designated "beach" area that is sandy. This time of year - July - the water was pretty warm and clear. We did not swim in the water - next time we will. We went on a Saturday in the morning time and it was not very crowded, but it seemed to start to fill up faster as it approached noon. Fun area to come with family and friends and enjoy some food and the lake on a hot summer day!

We ended up having to switch boats with him. He was transferring his stuff to the boat and hit someone in the face with his flip by accident which is okay, but didn't apologize. The scariest part was the rope came off the tube when we pulled it, it was simply not tied on properly. I've been on the lake a number of times both on rented and owned boats. This was the only bad experience so far.
