Trail Overview
B16 is a 1-Diamond, gravel trail located in the B-section of Hot Springs Off-Road Park, known for its scenic and beginner-friendly terrain. This 0.2-mile, heavily wooded route winds gently through the forest with a gradual 73-foot elevation gain, making it a comfortable trail for newcomers and nature lovers alike. The trail passes through lush creekbeds and shallow mud puddles, shaded by tall trees and surrounded by ferns and native wildlife. During wetter months, you’ll find several small waterfalls along the route—perfect spots to pause, breathe deeply, and take in the beauty of the forest. Drivers are encouraged to roll down their windows or stop along the way to fully enjoy the serenity. B16 is the kind of trail that lets you take a deep breath, ease into the day, and enjoy the slower side of off-roading. A Park Day-Use Trail Pass is required to access this system of trails. Cell service is spotty in places, and water features may vary with the season.
Difficulty
Dirt or rocky road, typically unmaintained after rain or snow. You may encounter shallow water crossings and obstacles under 12 inches on the trail, including small ledges.
