  • Hobbs is a tale of two parks. If you're looking for a good hike, you can definitely find one here, although the many 4 mile (+/-) loops are pretty much the same. Start on a ridge, hike down to a low.....  more

  • Hobbs state park visitor center was really nice. It was very clean. A nice little gift shop. The bathrooms were sparkling clean. It had nice paved walking trails. There is some nice information on animals in the area. There was an easy 3/4 mile walk and there is a longer trail as well. If you need a break from the winding roads... check out this visitor center.
  • Hobbs state park has some great hiking and biking trails. Pigeon roost (hiking only), karst loop (hiking and biking) are my favourite trails. Both have access and lookout points on the lake. Great swimming hikes too, if you want to spend time in the water. Kayaking is a big time activity too. The rangers are an awesome bunch too, if you are looking for any information. They are also doing outdoor space rentals, if you want to have a fun get together (seating, cooking space and refrigerator available too).
  • Clean facilities, decently well maintained trails for hiking, biking, trail running, lake day retreats, camping, and more! It's a hidden gem in NWA. I enjoy coming out here to do longer, traditional cross-country riding that I grew up doing on the east coast. There are still jumps, great downhills, and scenic views! Karst loop is probably my favorite. Love it out there!
  • Enjoyed looking around in the visitor center where there's a wealth of information on flora and fauna in the park and surrounding areas as well as the history of the park. Lots of hiking staffs locally sourced and hand carved available for purchase. Cute tshirts, Ernst books, mosquito repellent, coffee mugs and lots more. Briefly rode Karst Loop then across the road to one of the shorter trails.
  • Beautiful park. Women working in the visitors center very nice and informative. Lots of brochures, gift shop and museum. Loved watching the hummingbirds, bees and butterflies amongst the flowers out front. Should of asked how to get down to see river as pictured here, but it was a hot July day, probably wasn't going to hike it anyway.
