Originally called “The Magic City,” Eureka Springs located in Northwest Arkansas, is a small-town unlike no other. The town is said to be haunted, and it is home to many treehouses, living caves, enchanted castles, and perhaps a few hobbits. But what gives Eureka Springs its magic are the exhilarating hiking trails.  

Nestled in the Ozark region of Arkansas, Eureka Springs is known for its natural springs and small-town charm. It's also home to some of the most exhilarating hiking trails in Northwest Arkansas.
