Hot Springs National Park is located near downtown. There are trails to hike that go through parts of the forest and one that goes up the hill behind bath house row and another that leads you up to the observatory Tower. You can see the whole valley and the trail up is stunning. Bath house row is located downtown and it's free to enter and explore the amazing history or pay for a bath, which is soooooo worth it. While you are downtown you should go shopping at the amazing assortment of stores and shops. Check out the gangster or wax museum. There are also quite a few restaurants that serve various foods and a few bars as well. A casino and horse track is right down the road. Its definitely worth the visit in my opinion. The drive from any side of Arkansas is beautiful.
It's a beautiful place to visit. If you are not a big outdoor person, a long weekend would be good to shop and enjoy the baths and the scenery. If you are an outdoor person, like my girlfriend and I, we are planning a full week there as there is hiking the trails in the park, as well as tons of activities at the nearby lakes and you can dig for crystals at the crystal mine. Good food. Good shopping. It is someplace that you will not regret visiting.
