Biking is also a perfect activity that lends itself well to healthy practices. By making sure that you are staying active and hydrated you can continue to enjoy the benefits of cycling through the amazing Hot Springs Village trails.
Hot Springs Village Residents it is time to get your camera ready to take pictures of our glorious Village Trails.

The Parks and Recreation Department as well as the Trails Committee are putting on the Hot Springs Village Trails Photo Contest that runs for the whole month of March. Click 
Since Hot Springs Village is nestled so close to the Ouachita National Forest it is only natural that wildlife will make an appearance. However, the recent sightings of bears is a cause of concern. We do not do the bears any justice if we teach them that there is a food source for them in the area. We are asking that residents remove any bird feeders and pet food sources as well as securing trash so that we do not lure any bears to our properties. If you do see a bear you are asked to call the HSV Police Department in order to inform them of the bear’s location.
