There is guided or self-guided fishing and guided tours via tram or self-guided tours via bike or walking. There is a restaurant on site in the mill building. There is wildlife along the way and there are herds of Bison and elk as well as some Texas longhorn cattle. The park straddles the Missouri - Arkansas boarder. It is well worth the time you spend there.

Feeling a bit hesitant at first to do it on bike but it was the best feeling. It was a perfect 68, clear skies and lilac blooms along the way. The perfection was almost overwhelming. A tram is also available for a round trip adventure but the bike was just too fun to pass up. Along the way we saw all kinds of little critters, snakes, fish and birds. Stopped at the tree house, chapel and most of the waterfalls. On bike with all the stops about 2 hours, walking could easily be 3+. Bikes are $15 each and I highly recommend getting there early so you have your pick cause the good ones go fast. Some have baskets and you should get one of those and then fill it with a picnic lunch. Little under $20 per person for entry, with discounts for veterans, seniors and children. Large parking but the place is popular, so again if possible arrive early.

One of Branson, Mo greatest gems is this pretty little lake…read more Some of the best mornings of my life have been spent on this quite little lake; guiding kayak tours in the spring and summer months, admiring all the adorable, chicks, ducks, Heron, turtles, fish, Canada Geese, and bald eagles-it was wonderful to watch the seasons change with the chaning colors of the leaves and the changing colors on the breasts of all the waterfowl; saying good morning to all the polite and funny fly-fishermen at dawn; giggling at the beavers who would sometimes scare the cr*p outta me by splashing into the water while I was admiring a Great Blue Heron; paddling my kayak through the icey waters, myself and my kayak covered in snow, during the winter. What I really loved, during the super-hot summer months, was when they would do a dam release and the cold water from the bottom of Table Rock lake would turn Lake Taneycomo into a super-cold 40degrees stream, creating this beautiful foggy mist, making morning kayak trips gloriously romantic, refreshing, and a luxurious treat. Some may think it's a stream or a gentle river upon first inspection because there is usually a bit of a current. This is because they let do "dam releases" from Table rock lake which regulates the lake levels of Taneycomo. So, even though it moves like a river it is technically a lake since it is dammed on both sides. SUGGESTIONS: Bring a kayak. You'll see so much more. You'll never disturb the little critters. Youll get to sneek up on happy little turtle families. Make more friend with the fly-fishermen by telling them where all the great fishing holes are without disturbing the fish. Bring a camera. Enjoy!

The dumping station is conveniently located across the street from the camping sites. Cricket Creek is dog friendly, retiree and family oriented.

Basin Spring Park is in historic downtown Eureka Springs, AR…read more It's a small, charming park with brick walls, benches, terraces, stairs, and public art scattered throughout. Concrete engulfed the grounds. Much of it looked like add-ons. It's a pity that more bricks or stones weren't used to add more character and appeal. And oh what a hot July 23, 2025. My dog did well walking in the shaded areas with me. Live music seems non-stop here. Overall, it was a nice area with many shops, a few restaurants, at least one all-things dogs shop, and a simple yet really good ice cream parlor. Across the street in between some shops was a public restroom. The separate women's was a bit of a ramshackle to be honest. On top of that, my two young daughters kept laughing, giggling, and whispering at all the stupid messages and sexually-charged drawings on the walls. Metered street and lot parking nearby.

Furthermore, our good friends Alvin and Charlie run the nearby Magnetic Springs Resort. (Hey, it's a gay friendly, clothing optional place. Great for what it is but probably not a prime choice for heterosexual Southern Baptist types who are in town for a weekend of Bible study and Trump worship.) You really need to stop by these historic springs if you're in the Eureka Springs area -- lots of doctors and artists (and temperance advocate Carrie Nation!) lived in this area a hundred and twenty years ago. Lots of nearby bars and restaurants, as well as shops and galleries. (This is just around the bend from Main Street, for Pete's sake.)

My sister and I went today to Fritz's at 10am, since that is when it is posted that they "Open". We paid and went in to find nothing but the little kids climbing things open. We stood in line for TreeTops and were told "NOT to stand in line because they were not open". We said we would wait, thinking that is may be 15 minutes or so, but were told four more times to "NOT stand in line" because they would not open until maybe 11:30 or later - an hour and a half AFTER their "Open" time. We had come to do TreeTops specifically, but went and did the multi-story ropes course just to waste time. Even that course was not open until 30 minutes AFTER their "open" time. I thought when a business says they are open, they are actually open. If you can't get your act together and have things open until noon, then put NOON as your "OPEN" time. Don't waste our time and money. So, we are on the third floor of the ropes course, and a worker came up to us and told us that the Treetops will open in 10 minutes and to go down and get in line. We went down, took off our gear, and went to get in line. The worker girl inside the TreeTops area said we are "NOT OPEN! Do NOT stand in line!" So, at that point, we left. We had had enough of the piss poor attitudes of the workers, and the very, very poorly run business. Unless someone else runs the place, I would question going back. You are shooting the dice to whether you even get to do anything once you have paid your money. And the outside ziplines were all closed, and the workers said they had been closed for a while. Is that on your website, and do you tell people that when they make reservations. That is most of that course. So my review would be a zero if that were a choice. Save your money and your time!
