This is an urban/suburban park around and in Hot Springs, AR. It made for my being in all 50 states, never having found much reason to go to Arkansas. The Park itself has surprisingly good hiking on a ridge that is several miles long with some climbing. Much of the hike goes through hardwood forest before coming out on a road.
There is plenty of sulfur-smelling water that people bring jugs to fill up with. I dispensed with the baths, but the hiking was a pleasant surprise and there were very few people present in the “backcountry”!
