Thing to Do
Big Spring River's Edge Trail
NPS Photo
1.8 miles round trip. This easy meandering trail, much of it through a stand of cane, provides a connection between Big Spring Campground and Peavine Picnic Shelter where one can catch the Slough Trail which leads to the Big Spring. Following the bank of the Current River it offers an excellent opportunity to spot Bald Eagles (in winter months) Kingfishers, Blue Herons, and numerous song birds that nest in the riparian area or migrate through in spring & fall. Offers intimate views of the river.
