Visitors to Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas really follow the crowd. The park contains 47 hot springs. And tourists can take relaxing soaks at a bathhouse in the park that uses warm water from the nearby hot springs.

Great Springs

At 5,550 acres, Hot Springs National Park is the smallest national park in the United States. People have been coming to the area for hundreds of years to enjoy its natural hot baths. Starting in the 19th century, several bathhouses that offered baths with spring water opened in the region. Many visitors with illnesses went there, believing that the waters could help cure (治愈) them.

The area became a national park in 1921. People aren't allowed to take baths directly in the springs. But you can still visit the one bathhouse that remains in operation at the park. You can also drink the spring water from special fountains (喷嘴式饮水器) around the park. And don't worry about burning your tongue. When the water flows from the ground into the pools, it's very hot. But it cools before reaching the park's baths and fountains.

Home at Hot Springs

Besides the springs, visitors to the park can also see some pretty cool wildlife. Sounds like there are a lot of ways to have fun at Hot Springs National Park!

Fees & Passes

There is no entrance fee for the park.

Camping Fees

Your stay is limited to 14 days at a time. Longer stays require you to move to a different campground outside of the national park. All sites can be used for tent camping. All sites are $30 per night or $15 per night with a Senior Pass or Access Pass card. Senior and Access passes can be bought at the park store.
