Hot Springs’s Most Popular Experiences

Here are some of the best things to do while sailing on your Hot Springs boat rental.

Hot Springs National Park
Although there are plenty of geothermal pools in western states like Colorado and New Mexico, none are as important in the National Park Service catalog as Hot Springs National Park. The government established this park in 1832, making it the oldest federal reserve in the USA—older even than Yellowstone, which is usually recognized as the country’s first national park.

Sunset Trail
The city of Hot Springs is in the park, so getting into nature is easy. One popular route, the Sunset Trail, offers several impressive mountain overlooks that face away from the city entirely. You can do the 9-mile loop or even try adding it with adjacent trails for a complete 14-mile loop around Hot Springs National Park. Climb the Hot Springs Mountain Tower for a 360-degree view of the Ouachita Mountains.

Fishing in Lake Catherine
Lake Catherine is just minutes from Hot Springs, and it has become known to offer satisfying fishing conditions for crappie, bass, bream, catfish, and walleye. Lake Catherine State Park offers 17 fully-equipped cabins, 70 campsites, a boat launch ramp, and even some guided boat tours.

Hot Springs’ Best Bodies of Water

Lake Ouachita

As Arkansas’s largest lake, Lake Ouachita offers 40,000 acres of clear, clean water surrounded by the scenic Ouachita National Forest. You can arrange some fun activities here, such as swimming, skiing, scuba diving, boating, kayaking, and fishing. This lake is good for catching bream, crappie, catfish, striped bass, and largemouth bass.

Lake Hamilton

This is another one of the most popular recreational and residential lakes in Arkansas. It is a large lake of about 7,200 acres, and it is 18 miles long, which makes it perfect for fishing, boating, and all kinds of water sports. Condominiums, resorts, motels, restaurants, and private homes can be found along most of its shoreline.

Hot Springs Marina

Set sail on your boat rental from Hot Springs Marina, the oldest marina on Lake Hamilton. Whether you need an oil change or major repairs, this is the place to be. Highly trained technicians can diagnose and service most motors and help out with other boating needs. They also offer attractive launching areas and several public amenities.
