#106 Hot Springs NP



Fordyce Bathhouse

Hot Springs National Park, located in Central Arkansas, is a very underrated National Park. It preserves a number of mid 1800s Bathhouses, which drew their water from natural hot springs located under the western slope of Hot Springs Mountain, one of the mountains in the Ouachita Mountain Range of Western Arkansas. The centerpiece of the park is Bathhouse Row, which preserves nine of the bathhouses, all not all of them are open to the public. The park's headquarters are located in the Fordyce Bathhouse. The other part of the park is the Hot Springs Mountain Tower, which provides amazing views of the town and the surrounding area.
