The trailhead for Douglas Springs Trail is on the far east side of Speedway, just south of the entrance to the Tanque Verde Guest Ranch. It is .17 miles east of the Wildhorse trailhead. A small parking lot is right at the trailhead, but when the trail is popular there is street-side parking on E. Speedway.
Even in winter, this can be a very popular hiking/walking trail. There is a small covered area next to parking where you can sit down to prepare for your hike or rest afterwards.
Please read the trail website and signs in the gallery before coming here to hike. You will need water! Please also read the warning about aggressive bees on the trail. The reviews of those who have hiked here can be helpful!
