Ritter Springs Park is the terminus for the Fulbright Spring Greenway. The trails here are not always marked clearly, so bring navigation if riding beyond the paved Scott Road. The park has restrooms, playground equipment, benches, picnic tables, barbecue grills, a small lake, a pavilion, and even a sand volleyball court and archery range. The bridge over the small spillway is a popular spot for photos. There is also a small cave at the north end of the park.

The parking area for the Little Bit Loop backs up to Fellows Lake and a small boat dock. All the trails next to the water have sporadic views, but the only trails starting from this trailhead spend the majority of their time in the woods. This is really the only open view you get if you are doing the Little Bit Loop.

Along with grassy nature trails, the Fulbright Spring Greenway runs through the middle of Ritter Springs Park. Not all the singletrack trails are marked super well, but they are easy to navigate since there aren't a ton of turns. Most of the trails are short and flat, so they're usually easy for most hikers.
