4 days in Hot Springs Itinerary

Set deep in the Ouachita Mountains, the city of Hot Springs almost completely surrounds the national park of the same name.

Museum-lovers will get to explore Museum of Automobiles and Artists' Workshop Gallery. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Lake Catherine State Park and Mount Nebo State Park. Step out of Hot Springs to go to Bismarck and see DeGray Lake Resort State Park, which is approximately 40 minutes away. There's still lots to do: take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Hot Springs Mountain, stop by Bathhouse Soapery, see the interesting displays at Mountain Valley Spring Water Visitor Center & Museum, and catch a live performance at Woodlands Auditorium.
