Overview
Boulware Springs Nature Park - Yes we have a city park that supports horseback riding! And, if you're into distance bike riding along a paved trail through the landscape, BSNP has you covered too! This 106-acre facility, located at 3300 NE 15th St. and accessible by the RTS #2 bus (for those of us without a horse or a bike), provides access to the 17-mile Gainesville-Hawthorn State Trail. This paved trail was once a railroad track that wove through the countryside between Gainesville and Hawthorne. Now its enjoyed by hikers, bike and horseback riders year round. The park has a large parking lot to unload your horse and leave your trailer. There's a nice picnic area also for those who want a more rural location for their al fresco dining. Finally, this park joins the Historic Waterworks where you can tour the building that once sent the water from Boulware Spings into the city. Lots to see and plenty to do. What a great place!
