Dozens of springs cover the lower slopes of Hot Springs Mountain. However, most are hidden after two centuries of development and efforts to keep the water clean for consumption. This 1-mile loop along Bathhouse Row, to Happy Hollow Spring, and back along the Grand Promenade reveals the stories and images of some of the hottest, most famed springs from the 19th century. Along the way, you’ll learn about the hydrology and the cultural significance of the springs that help explain the park you see today.
