Active Healthy Places: Spaces Where You Feel Welcome to Linger & Active  Transportation is an Easy Option

To promote transportation as well as recreation, Hot Springs is taking steps to make its urban center more bicycle friendly for citizens and tourists. 

The City applied for and received an Energy Efficiency Block Grant from ARRA funds to aid in implementation of the City’s Trails Master Plan.  The funding received is being used to establish four numbered and signed bike routes.  Shared Lane markings, or “sharrows”, have been installed in the segment of Central Avenue near Bathhouse Row to encourage cycling and close this “gap” in the network. 

• Bicycle Route # 1 consists of the Hot Springs Creek Greenway Trail from its southern terminus (currently Chelsea Street) to its trailhead at the Transportation Depot, Central Avenue through the central business district and past Bath House Row in Hot Springs National Park, past the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts on Whittington Avenue to Whittington City Park where it ends.
