There’s No Better Place to Be Than These 47 Hot Springs in Arkansas

It may seem overwhelming to hear that there are 47 hot springs in Arkansas. Luckily, they are all in one central location. Can anyone guess where these amazing springs are located? We’ll wait...

Given the name of the park, it's not so hard to figure out, especially if you live in the state. You got it! Hot Springs National Park is located in central Arkansas, adjacent to Arkansas’ famous resort town, Hot Springs. The water of the hot springs emerges from the ground at a toasty 143 degrees Fahrenheit.  Although there aren't any places within the park where visitors can get in the springs, Hot Springs has conveniently solved this problem with the historic Bathhouse Row.

Though we were unable to find pictures of all 47 springs, (and we also thought that much natural beauty might be too overwhelming,) we did find some truly amazing shots. Here are some of the best hot springs in Arkansas, in no particular order...

1. Here is a spring flowing into a man-made pool in the National Park

2. Look at this top view of this pool. There are so many colors.

3. Here is a spring in its natural habitat. Gorgeous.

4. Check out all the wonderful steam coming from this one:

It’s not hard to see why Native Americans called this area "The Valley of the Vapors."

5. Look at all the pretty colors on this small stream.

6. More steam. More colors.

7. The natural beauty of the mountain highlights the amazing spring.

Hiking through Hot Springs National Park has the additional benefit of giving visitors a glimpse of Hot Springs Mountain, part of the gorgeous Ouachita Mountain Range.

8. Take a look at this gorgeous view from the Hot Springs Mountain Tower!

The Ouachitas are not to be underestimated as part of the total hot springs experience.

9. This view of historic Hot Springs as seen from that same mountain tower isn’t too shabby either.

10. And, of course, one of the best ways to experience the hot springs is to visit the gorgeous Bathhouse Row.

Here you can bathe in the restorative hot springs, drink from fountains, or have a full spa experience complete with massages, facials, and delicious food. The Hot Springs bathhouses also have hot tubs and pools.
