My kids, our dog, and I walked the entire Grand Promenade in downtown Hot Springs, AR, back on July…read more20, 2025. Since that was a Sunday, metered street parking was free. We made sure to head there as early as possible which was about 8:30 AM. Hardly anyone was out there. The sidewalks and streets weren't yet hot on our dog's feet. We dipped our hands in the terribly hot waterfall and small ponds near Central Ave and Fountain Street. We walked up the stairs somewhere nearby. It might be hard on elderly dogs. But my elderly dog acts like a 9-year-old puppy. Lol. At the top of the Promenade, there was a nice red-bricked pathway inspired by Cuba, I later read. There were several trees, benches, tables, and a few chess boards. Not a trash can in sight, though! I guess that's why I picked up so much damn trash! There is a free water refill station on Reserve Street. It's just down the stairs from the Promenade. We finally saw a trash can there. It was so peaceful up there during the half hour we spent reading signage and exploring the seeping springs while the crowd below built up quickly. Free activity. Recommend.

You can views of the back of the bath houses below and you get views of the park up above. This is a popular touristy area and there are lots of people here but it never got crowded. There are plenty of benches here to sit and relax. On a recent walk here I spotted a deer and it was awesome! Keep in mind there are no bathrooms here, there are several staircases that you can use to get up here. As you are walking and notice these green "bear type" boxes, those are actually natural springs coming from the ground that are covered. On one end of the promenade is fountain street where the is a free public cold spring you can refill your water bottle. Very beautiful and the whole thing does not take more than 30 minutes.

He was very nice and the rates were super cheap compared to other horseback riding places. Toby even called me the day before to remind me of my reservations and see if I had any questions. When we got there, the scenery was amazing! The horses were very well trained and the trail was through a pretty forest. Toby personally guided us through the trail and talked to us like we were good friends. My girlfriend and I can't wait to plan another trip to Hot Springs and stop back by for another ride. It is good to know there are still genuinely friendly business owners out there.

Houseboat Rental isn't a subcategory on here, but it should be somehow…read more This was a great company to rent through on Lake Ouachita in Royal, Arkansas just north west of Hot Springs. They have a variety of boats and decent prices. The boats are in excellent condition and were very spacious. I've been on a quite a few houseboats in my day and these blow the ones at Echo Bay, Lake Mead, Nevada out of the water. LUXURY houseboats with waterslides, washer & dryers, ice markers, a wet bar on the fly deck (roof), and a Jacuzzi. They come in 2, 4 or 6 bedroom versions of various lengths. Some have one bath, some have one & a half, some have two full baths. They all have TV and if you want Satellite tv dishes. They come with CD players and outdoor seating on the front deck and the top deck. The lake has been rated the cleanest lake in the USA by the EPA and it certainly looks and feels like it. Hill's provided us with excellent service and training on how to drive a houseboat. They were friendly and funny, and just down right GOOD PEOPLE. We are definately going to go back and vacation with them again!

We rented from Hills Lake August 2012. It was a great experience and we would go back…read more Lake Quachita is an amazing lake. If you like being around and in water that is clear and clean then this it. When you get out of the water and dry off, it's like you never been in the water. The lake is the cleanest in America per EPA. We rented a 66' houseboat, received a great deal. The owners are new, since late 2011. The houseboats are around 10 years old and do show wear and tear. This didn't bother me at all since the furniture, kitchen, bathrooms and mattresses were clean, comfortable and in good shape. I didn't feel dirty or icky which is my point. The owner told me they plan to upgrade their fleet of houseboats. I took a good look at their engine and generator and both were in really good shape. The 66 footer has 6 bedrooms (one of them has about a 4 ft ceiling, kids loved it, full kitchen and two full baths. The main attraction is the slide and spa, lol. What a hit with everyone. Adults and kids spent most of the time sliding and sitting in the hot tub. We planned on fishing, unfortunately it was really tough. You can catch all the bream you want, but anything bigger is scarce in August. We did catch a gar though. That was fun. Now, here is what to expect. The first thing you are going to experience is all of the paperwork you will sign. Just like anything you rent you will be responsible. Don't let this intimidate you. If you abuse it or lose it (like chairs) then you will be paying, however, the owner is not looking to nitpick so if you take care of their property, then you don't have anything to worry about. Your main concern is the engine and propeller.. If you aren't careful where you are going then you could hit a submerge tree or ground. If you do, you may lose a propeller and you will have to replace it. They are plastic since it's better to lose the prop then the outdrive. The lake is big enough and deep enough that if you are careful, this is not an issue. Part of this is the fact that you will be responsible for beaching and tieing up the boat. There is no anchor (it is a rocky lake) so what you do is beach your boat at night and then tie your two ropes to two separate trees. Not a big deal once you have done it. Be sure to have the ropes far enough apart (make a big V) so that the wind can't blow your boat around. We ran the generator the entire time and rarely used the engine, our gas bill was $400. Not sure what was the price./gallon, but if I was to guess we probably burnt around 80 -100 gallons of gas, which seems reasonable for 4 days of running a house AC the entire time. Since these are rental units, you may experience things breaking on you. We had two issues: 1) Hot tube quit heating up and 2) Sewer smell kicked up when we had some wind gusts. In both cases, the owner quickly responded and tried to make everything right for us. I was impressed how helpful they were. In summary, it was a great vacation and we all loved it. There wasn't a lot of boat traffic. We saw probably 2 - 4 boats a day. The owner and staff were very helpful and polite. They are wanting this to be a good experience and want you back. They offer a deal where you rent so many times and you will get free days. There is a marina right next to them that looked to be in great shape. They have a little shop, plus offer diving. Apparently, spearfishing is big on this lake and I was told you can go down 50ft to spear. Overall, it was a great experience, Kids loved it. Owner was very helpful and had the right attitude to be successful. Someone is there 7 days/24 hours. BTW, I have no affiliation with the owners. My goal is to have you learn from my experiences so that your houseboat vacation is better than what you expect. Have fun!

FREE ATTRACTION!!!…read more Hot Springs is known as the home of many unique Attractions, one of which is "The Birthplace of Spring Training Baseball (1886)." Fogel Field was constructed in 1912 on Whittington Ave. adjacent to the Arkansas Alligator Farm (1902). There is much trivia that Baseball Fans can research ~ perhaps the best known is the 573' Home Run by Babe Ruth in 1918. Pretty awesome to Park Free & walk all around the Field. Just imagine that ball flying the distance of almost 2 Football Fields & landing in the Alligator Farm!!!
