Has a play ground at the top. Kids had fun. Great place for a short hike.

Only an HR away from Midland but worth the drive. The grass REALLY is Greener a few minutes away from the Permian Basin. Because of the lockdown we have been looking for ways to get out of the house (SAFELY), and the Big Spring National Park was the perfect getaway. Big Spring is a small tiny town and the national park brings an amazing sense of peace to this specific area away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Despite it being the middle of July the weather wasnt too hot and we truly enjoyed the hike. I would personally recommend taking the scenic view first to get acquainted with the area. We made the mistake of parking and hiking without knowing the trail and ended up walking UPHILL for at least half a mile. Although, I will admit it was GREAT cardio! The area also has a playground, restroom, parking and picnic/rest area. It is perfect for all ages. Would love to come back during fall when the sun isnt too hot. 10/10 would recommend.

My favorite place in big spring.. the view is amazing. Everytime I visit my family I come here.

Beautiful and clean. You can peacefully walk through the trails. Many, many locals walk the loop (even in 100 degree temps), so be cautious when driving.

This is where myself and other folks go to walk the dog and enjoy the nature of the environment. You can clear your head or come up with good ideas or just walk and and talk with your God.

Great state park. So well kept while maintaining its natural habitat. Clean picnic area and bathrooms.

The views are incredible, if the parking at the front is full drive just a little ways in, ON THE WALKING/DRIVING TRAIL and you will see a second parking spot to your right. There is another parking lot at the top of the trail. I walk against the flow of traffic so I can see it. Driving is ONE WAY. Its hot in the summer, to walk the whole trail in the summer you should be in somewhat good shape.

Always love coming here and getting a few laps in!

Great view of the city.good walking trails and a nice place to picnic at the top.

About the greatest outdoors trails and views youll get without driving several hours.

It is wonderful to walk this mountain. A fantastic view of our city and a great workout. You can even drive to the top and let the kids play on the playground.

Adjacent to the state park is the Big Spring Vietnam veterans Memorial Plaza. the memorial highlights individuals that are from Big Spring and that served during the Vietnam era. Static displays include 2 helicopter s and a fighter jet. A good place to visit and maybe have your lunch.

Tranquil with beauty to match! A little breezy, however its well worth it!

Great hike for the end or beginning of your day. Park closes to vehicle from Sundown to 8am. So early morning hikes are great and the temperature is nice.

Not much to see, as it offers a nature trail that is only .38 miles. Needs repairs, but has a nice ledge view of the town on its road. The Ranger at visitors center was super friendly and one of the best Ive encountered.

Nice views and good walking trails. Fun playground on the top of the mountain

Great park! Lots of scenic views and great hiking trails. We saw a bobcat in the wild!

Nice park! Great scenery!

5 stars how else do I describe this place

A small park for day use only. Short nature trail. Found more people walking on the road. Good views of area from the top.

Loved walking my Rusty and Ruby here! Love this place...

Great place for a walk or exercise! Lots of inclines but well worth the scenic view.

A very beautiful view of the city of Big Springs! A nice place for a peaceful walk and scenic view from above.

We rode our motorcycle there it has a great view and hiking trails

Big Spring State Park is Awesome ... Nice Senic Views & good place to walk through the Mountain !!

Great view and loved the walk

We enjoyed this park, but were disappointed by the hype associated with it. If you live in Big Spring, Im sure its a great option because of the convenience. The views are nice and its well maintained. However, if youre traveling to get here, dont let your expectations be too high. Stop by Comanche Trail Park while youre in the area and check out the spring to make your trip even more worthwhile!

Had a great mountain bike ride.

Considering Big Spring Texas is at the North Eastern edge of the Permian basin, this sure proves to be a great find for a picturesque location, and an incredible view!! Great place for a scenic drive, biking, hiking, or just a walk. Bring the binoculars!

Awesome place to go for a walk and enjoy the view! You get a nice 360 view of the area if you walk or drive this state park! Its also a great place to walk your dogs! Has a nice park if you have kids as want to let them run around!

No where else in West Texas can you see for hundreds of miles, as you can from the top of Scenic Mountain. I still love the nature trail and to walk all the way around the mountain. There are tiny fossils of sea life at the very top. Intriguing remnants of the Permian Sea. I wish the prairie dog town of my childhood was still here:)

When I visited they were doing renovations of the visitor center so I was only able to drive through and that was about it. Seems like a great little park for Day use, but other than that, not sure what else this park would be used for honestly. It is great if your are local, but other than that, for a brief stop headed out to west Texas, that is really about it.

The most beautiful park Ive ever visited.

Loved the scenery. Very small but worth it.

Great walking and bike trails

Nice little State Park. New trails as of April 2019 brought to you by the West Texas Trail Alliance. Only place for miles that has significant topography.

LOVE stopping here at all times during the day. I take a lot of pictures here, because the scenery is BEAUTIFUL. Nice place to take your kids to play, enjoy a nice walk, pull over and eat, etc.

Perfect place to get excercise, take in some fresh air and beautiful nature!

Nice experience and the kids loved it!

Beautiful scenery. You can drive up the mountain or walk. They have nature trails and have added trails for biking. You can lookout and see the entire city.

Very nice place. Want a place to have great backgrounds for your prom or wedding photography this is worth checking out

Big spring state park is breathtaking. I couldn’t believe the views! There’s also a park at the top for kids. Great place

Awesome part of town

We didnt get to enjoy the state park because I guess they decided to close 45 minutes early. We drove 5 hours to Abilene State Park then to Big Springs State Park. :-(

Great we really enjoyed it.

Grandfather was in the ccc they built great things

Great place to get some steps in!

Hiking trails are good, Park was small, view off of scenic mountain was good. However it closes way to early. On one occasion I attended a rave run at night and it changed a decent view of the city to a stunning one, with hotel settles at the center of attention.

Perfect rest stop between Monahans Sandhills and Lake Colorado City State Parks.

This is a great little park. You have a techy climb and a flowey decent or a flowy climb and a fast slightly techy decent. This is easily the best park within an hour of me.

During a brief trip to Big Spring, I had the opportunity to spend a half hour or so walking the nature trail here. Its short but scenic, and it was impeccably clean; this was a pleasant surprise considering the plastic trash that seemed omnipresent throughout much of the region. The view from the bluff overlooking the city was also unexpectedly nice. Residents of Big Spring are lucky to have such a well-maintained park so close by, and visitors to the area shouldnt forgo a visit!

Beautiful views, very clean , next time you come , make sure you bring some food with you and Grill some burgers of steaks with your family , while enjoying the wind and the views

Great spot to walk run or jog. Great view of Big Spring at the peak.

As a local I am like it as a challenging exercise challenge. I run/walk it as often as possible, forward and backwards. They are developing new bike trails. I cant wait to try them.

The view is amazing, its really good for a run its about 3 miles trail you can either walk or run or just to enjoy the view with your SO

A beautiful park to unwind your mind and soul.

Peaceful and scenic!

Amazing view with a park at the top. Theres a trail that you can walk through and it has signs that teach about certain healing plants

Absolutely beautiful.

Its beautiful, I like the scenery

Very well maintained State Park. Clean, historic, and awesome views!

Beautiful Park an a view to die for!

Very satisfaction with the view it has. Bring your food. There is B-Q pit as far as I remember, no restaurant or anything you might want so always best to carry water and food.

Very ugly. Think happy thoughts. Dont leave the trail everythings poky

Its a great place to visit. Lots of wildlife and plants. The views are great.If you like to picnic, there are plenty of places to do so. Facilities are present but youll need to supply your own hand-soap or sanitizer.

I just Love look outs. You can see for miles from here.

Great place to get some exercise walking, running, etc. on the trails. Family friendly too.

Nice mountain bike trail.

Love this park! Beautiful overlooks... And a new mountain bike/hiking trail coming soon!

Headquarters closed.All the information Im finding says the spring dried up in 1917.

Good place for exercise and hiking. Views were nice too!

Beauty in the West Texas dessert

Absolutely beautiful. Great place to meditate

It was clean and beautiful had fun enjoying celebrating Mistys baby shower.

Love the new hike/bike trails.

I adore this place. Truly a gorgeous site to behold. The park ranger is so knowledgable and helpful.

The park is quaint and clean. Not a lot of people crowding around. Its a relaxing place to sit and enjoy the town. Close to everything in town also

Clean and fantastic area for outings and birthday parties. Kids love it so will you.

Its free entrance. Cool little drive.... nice views and picnic areas too. They do have some hiking too, but you can just drive through and park at some of the overlooks if your not interested in hiking.

Ron the ranger was helpful and knowledgable! Thanks Ron!

Great MTB trails

Could spend a lot of time here trying to drink this spring dry! Nice camping area and beautiful view! I will come back again!

Restrooms available for men and women. Swing sets and other games on site as well as a grill. There is a shading area. Great place for stargazing and panoramic views at night or sunset. Vehicles are allowed from 8 am to six pm. You may also walk up the site if you prefer.

Day use only, no overnight camping.Great place to take a walk or drive the scenic route.There are several spots where you can park and enjoy the view from your vehicle or from one of the benches.

Nice parks also the state park

This is a day use only state park that sits on a great overlook to the city of Big Spring. There was no one to get a pass from at the entrance or in the park office so I chose to not fret over it. Theres a good playground for the kids and a covered picnic area too. The bathrooms are a mixture of normal and chemical. Theres also a prairie dog town near it. Its fun to take a look at but we were unable to locate it this trip.

I love it! Views are awesome. So is Big Spring, TX.

A great view of Big Spring and where the Great Plains meet the Caprock. Enjoy cooking out with friends and family and a very pleasant walk.

Day park only, really nice view, lots of wind. My daughter enjoyed the playground.

Beautiful scenery

Great place for sightseeing and hikingGreat view of Big Spring.

Very good spot to visit for this area.

Wonderful place to Camp go hiking for outside people!

We love this place its a great site seeing adventure placeStar gazing, movies on the mountain, just all kinds of stuff,,...

Peaceful. Nice views of Big Spring. Usually has fun activities throughout the year.

We usually walk the road that winds through for exercise. Nothing much else

Theres some really nice trails here and the park is well kept. Nothing amazing buy its nice for a small park. The trails have some really nice views from them. Biking is good here too.

Dont know too much about the park, I work near by

Nice drive or hike, but not reccomeded if youre scared of hights.

One of my favorite places. Have made lots of good memories here.
