The Chapel is an unbelievable structure that is filled with windows.
Then head over to check out the Anthony Chapel. You can tour the gardens and the beautiful surrounding area (there is an admission fee). The Garvan Woodland Gardens are the botanical gardens of the University of Arkansas. I was disappointed we didn’t make it here on our stay. You can also explore Lake Catherine State Park and do water sports like fishing and boating or head out hiking. You can see the mountain if you go up in the Hot Springs Mountain Tower. Everything from mountain biking to hiking, fishing and boating! Hot Springs is the hub of the mountains and the Ouachita National Forest spreads for 1.8 million acres around Arkansas. If you are looking for outdoor activities the Ouachita Mountain range located in the Ouachita National Forest has a lot of offer. They have a variety of events and live racing so be sure to check out their site for more info. If Horse racing and casino’s are more your thing you will want to check out Oaklawn Racing and Gaming (formerly Oaklawn Park). You could definitely spend some time hiking here! Oaklawn Racing And Gaming There are a variety of other hikes in the area and all different lengths. It then became a National Park in 1921.Ĭheck out these other National Parks in Arkansas. This is our kind of place!įun Fact: The United States Congress made Hot Springs a Reservation (an area to be preserved for future recreation) in April 20, 1832. The National Park consists of a row of Bath Houses – 2 are still working and the other buildings have been transformed into gift shops, the visitor center, and a brewery!! Yes a brewery in a National Park. I am assuming this happens to a lot of people! We ended up in the National Park administration building – but never fear there was a sign telling us where to go to find the visitor center. Then you have to find the National Park visitor center. There actually isn’t even a parking lot for the National Park – instead you just park long the street (there are meters that take change). Say what? Seriously, the National Park is part of downtown Hot Springs. Instead it is a National Park located IN the middle of the city. The National Park here is not what you are used to when it comes to National Parks. I had to list the National Park first as this is why we came to Hot Springs.
