All Things To Do
Experience the Scenic Grand Promenade in Hot Springs National Park
Located in Hot Springs National Park, the scenic Grand Promenade is a half-mile paved walking path that runs behind Bathhouse Row. This beautiful, forested trail features plenty of benches and tables perfect for picnicking, and an impressive lookout point above a valley. One of the key attractions along the Grand Promenade is the Hot Water Cascade, an open hot spring. It is the largest visible spring in the park and offers a captivating sight as the water flows down a series of moss-covered rocks.
A Trail for Everyone
Past visitors have praised the Grand Promenade as an excellent way to experience the park, especially for those with limited mobility. For the most picturesque views, it’s recommended to follow the path up to the Mountain Tower.
