See What’s Blooming

Eureka Springs first drew visitors in the late 1800s because of the healing powers believed to be present in over 60 natural springs there.    While the springs today are not potable, they are wonderfully landscaped & lushly gardened.  They provide excellent picnic and rest areas as well as giving a beautiful arboretum-like feel.    Grab a parks & trails map and find the 15 prominent springs that are easily walkable.
