Hot Springs National Park is a surprisingly unique "urban" park, protecting natural thermal springs within the city of Hot Springs. While the historic Bathhouse Row is a central attraction, the surrounding forested mountains offer miles of tranquil hiking trails where solitude can be found. Enjoy the quiet beauty of the Ouachita Mountains, soak in the therapeutic waters, and experience a unique blend of natural wonder and historical charm, offering a peaceful retreat unlike any other.
