Review & FAQ:

Big Spring State Park is located in Big Spring, Howard County, and is named for the natural spring that was once situated on the site. Today, the natural spring has been replaced by an artificial one, however, the 381.99-acre park still attracts crowds of visitors who come to enjoy other recreational activities, such as hiking, mountain biking, birdwatching, wildlife observation, and stargazing. A lighted group pavilion is available for special events for up to 50 people, and a seasonal interpretative center displays a selection of Native American artifacts and fossils found in the area.
