Affordable Nature Outdoors Parks Lake Wooded River Arts Historic Architecture

About an hour southwest of Little Rock sits the charming city of Hot Springs. With a long and rich history as a popular resort town, the city is full of beautifully preserved architecture, including many striking examples of early 20th century Art Deco designs.

The city’s artistic community takes center stage during Gallery Walk, a monthly event in which the local art galleries are open for extended hours with many offering free wine and h'ors d'oevres. This is an excellent chance to meet local artists, business owners, and your neighbors.

Outdoorsy types will love to take advantage of the rivers, lakes, and huge wooded areas like Ouachita National Forest all around the community. Swim in the cool, clear waters of the Little Missouri, go fishing for rainbow trout, take a hike to the Little Missouri Falls, and enjoy some peace and quiet away from the daily grind.
