Magic Springs

While super tempting, Hot Springs National Park’s mineral hot springs are not safe for swimming. Luckily, Hot Springs, Arkansas, offers a variety of fun swim options for both hikers and families. Spend a day at Magic Springs Water & Theme Park for high-intensity water slides, a wave pool, a lazy river, and children’s play areas. Prefer a more natural vibe? Find sandy lakes and cool swimming holes at Lake Catherine State Park, Gulpha Gorge Campground and more. Get more ideas from leah on
