Step into the steamy, storied waters of Hot Springs National Park, one of the most unique and historic places in the National Park Service. Nicknamed “America’s First Resort,” this Arkansas gem welcomes over 2.4 million visitors each year to explore its 5,550 acres, 26 miles of trails, and the iconic Bathhouse Row that includes eight turn-of-the-century buildings. The area has been cherished by Native Americans for over 10,000 years, and today, visitors still come to soak in its healing 143°F waters—though only indoors. Take a stroll along the Grand Promenade, enjoy a scenic drive (just know some views come with houses!), hike or bike through the surrounding trails, and yes, you can drink the spring water! Whether it’s the science (the rain that feeds the springs fell 4,400 years ago!) or the soul-soothing experience, Hot Springs is more than just a park. Soak up the history, sip the water, and discover why this place has drawn people for centuries. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
