About the Business
Boulware Springs Park, located in Gainesville, Florida, is a popular tourist attraction and park that serves as a trailhead for the 17-mile Gainesville-Hawthorne State Trail. Visitors can enjoy picnicking, hiking, biking, and horseback riding along the scenic trail. The park offers picnic facilities, parking, and an area for unloading horses. City staff and volunteers are working to restore the sandhill and upland pine forest near the parking lot.
In January 2020, a new metal roof was installed on the park's pavilion by American Roofing Company, a local business. The project cost $5,495. Boulware Springs Park is open daily from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. from March 15 to September 30, and from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. from October 1 to March 14. The park is also open on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with observed holidays. Visit Boulware Springs Park for a day of outdoor fun and relaxation in beautiful natural surroundings.
Reviews
"Beautiful biking and hiking area!"
"The old water works building is currently boarded up and awaiting repairs, so there are no restrooms here. There are some picnic tables and a nice pavilion though. The water fountain does not work, so no drinking water either. There are port-a-potties at the trailhead though."
"A beautiful little historic spot, with just enough history and plant life to make it worth a visit. Not too busy and the overall peacefulness of the area makes for a great afternoon"
"We took a bike ride on the Hawthorne trail beginning here at Bouware Springs. The bike trail has some hills at this point which makes it a wonderful place to ride. We road about 15 miles."
"Just park the car and start walking and you just be amazed at all the wildlife you'll see. Occasionally I see a person who lives in fear wearing a mask but for the most part it's a worry-free area open skies and trees and wind are a lot safer than a lot of people in a small enclosed space because when you look over the toward the prairie there is nothing out there but swamp and Gators so I took a few pictures..."
