The Willow Springs Trailhead is located in Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and provides access to several trails, each with a trailhead sign. These trails lead to Native American archeological sites, springs, seasonal waterfalls, many miles of easy to strenuous hiking, and a pretty rough dirt road. There is a nice picnic area here too with trees and water that bring in birds.

The Willow Springs Trailhead Parking area serves four trailheads. At the north end of the parking area, Rocky Gap Road serves northbound hikers. At the northwest corner of the parking area, the Petroglyph Wall Trail runs across the wash. On the west side of the parking area, a small sign announces the Willow Springs Loop Trail. At the southeast corner of the picnic area, the Willow Springs Loop trail runs south past an archeological site with petroglyphs, pictographs, and an agave roasting pit.
