Description
Park at the Mad Creek trailhead off Route 129 heading north out of town. After parking, hike back south on the road for about a quarter of a mile, and look for a wide dirt road after a sign that says, "Private Property." Take this dirt road to a junction, and veer left hiking northeast on the road. After 0.3 miles, there will be a wooden sign marking the start of the Hot Springs Trail.The trail itself winds into the woods at a moderate grade and then follows Hot Springs Creek. About 3 miles from the start on the dirt road, you'll see the boulder and wooden welcome signs announcing the entrance of Strawberry Park. Leashed dogs are allowed on the trail, but if you plan on staying to soak, leave your four-legged friends at home--they're not allowed into Strawberry Park.
