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 . . .

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.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
