What we tell first-time visitors

Hot Springs is small enough that most guest favorites are an easy drive, but each part of town has its own rhythm. Bathhouse Row and the National Park are the historic walking core. Oaklawn is the racing and casino destination. Magic Springs is the family/teen day. Lake Hamilton is the slow morning, dock time, and boat-rental afternoon. Mt. Riante is the quieter mountain side of the trip, separate from the cove but still close to the main Hot Springs stops.
