Northwoods gets city connection
Work began Feb. 10 on a new trail that will connect Hot Springs’ Park Avenue neighborhood with the Northwoods Trail System. Cyclists previously had been forced to reach Northwoods from a trailhead at the Hot Springs Lakeside Waterworks facility, which was about a five-minute drive from downtown. The new 0.6-mile Pullman Avenue Connector Trail, accessible by foot or bike only, will travel through Hot Springs National Park property and allow Hot Springs visitors to easily bike from a downtown hotel to Northwoods. The trail system will be 44.6 miles when finished. Sixteen miles of the project have been completed.
