- Cameron MMobile, Alabama746 contributionsNice to get up above and off Central Ave.Access by stairs on either end, so there are no cars or bikes. Interesting plaques along the was detailing some history. Some shaded benches. The views are just OK - you get to see the backside and roofs of many of the bathhouses.Visited May 2023Written May 27, 2023
- Dan556Rock Hill, South Carolina1,168 contributionsGreat for a leisurely walk!We started our walk at the Arlington Hotel end and walked to the other end near the abandoned hospital. It's an even surface with plenty of benches placed throughout the length. There is a lot of tree and shrubbery overgrowth along the way, but much of the backside of Bathhouse Row is visible.Visited June 2023Written June 30, 2023
- Anonymous8551,712 contributionsVery easy walk, paved level surface, steps at entry and exit onlyIt isn't terribly long and there are enough places to sit along the walk if needed. Unfortunately, we were there during a heat wave and I could have used a bit more shade. It was very safe so a lovely evening stroll would be good too. If you only do one walk in Hot Springs, make this the one.Visited July 2023Written July 16, 2023

Just a great place to either listen to nature on your walk or find a good tune and put your music while relaxing and taking in the sightsVisited July 2023Traveled with familyWritten December 3, 2023

The Promenade is located along the backside of the Bathhouse Row in downtown Hot Springs. It is a nice opportunity to take a walk and enjoy both the Bathhouse Row and the mountain, including some hot springs.

We walked along the Grand Promenade on our Park Ranger-led tour. The highlight was seeing a momma groundhog and her baby along the way!
The pathway is wide and easy to walk along. It is far enough behind Bathhouse Row to have a little peace and quiet away from the busy street traffic. This is a great place to have a nice stroll and enjoy a touch of nature.

I apologize yes there are lights along the promenade
May we walk with leashed dogs on the promenade?

Of course, daytime is best. But on Friday nights down Central Avenue you will see several people walking their dogs on a regular basis. It's a real social event for the owners and their beloved pets.
