There's Gold in Them Hills

by mrclay2000

Eureka Springs is a very hilly district. The entire town rests amid the mountains and forests of the White River valley. The trolley system is a slow but efficient method of touring this town, but with over 100 stops the impatient should never board. Use your feet and expect to climb and huff and puff as if you were touring the streets of Stamboul.

Turpentine Creek Wildlife...

by brdwtchr

Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge is a home for displaced lions, tigers, and other big cats. They had many beautiful animals there. It is a little sad to see so many beautiful big cats in cages that way but I felt good knowing my donation I made would go toward helping them. I never saw so many tigers all in one place before. Turpentine Creek is located South of Eureka Springs on 23.

Springs are Parks

by BruceDunning

The springs-16 total in the town area are not all easily found, but there is a map to search if you desire. These are a few of the more prominent ones. The springs are really small parks, wrung with flowers and decor, and very attractive.

The Birdwoman of Eureka Springs

by mrclay2000

Adjacent to the Queen Anne Mansion is the so-called Queen Anne Wings, a similar Victorian-era structure devoted to live, exotic birds in extraordinary confines. The entire mansion is full of birds, a luxurious aviary designed to share with the public every stage of a bird's life.

Eureka! Everything Springs to Mind!

"A City Like No Other"

Your first moments in Eureka Springs will strike you with two contradictory messages. This town is at once one of the best preserved Victorian-era cities in the country, full of relics and imagery that transport you to a horse-drawn century. The modern town is however a shameless tourist trap, selling jewelry and souvenirs out of former banks and merchant offices. Even so, the more time you spend here the more you come to recognize that Eureka Springs offers a very soft welcome, a Mecca wherein you're expected to kick up your feet and rest for the remainder of your days. This town seems not only a surreal diorama of frontier town life, but also the bed and breakfast capital of the world. Just on the fringe of downtown and sprawled out everywhere in these impossible hills, the whole of Carroll County seems given to sleepy hollows and quiet motor inns, of horseback riding and apple cider. Visitors are quickly reminded that they have no business here except the business of relaxation. Evenings in town are like the annual carnival, though they occur everyday and on every corner. Nighttime lighting reminds one of gas lamps and wooden sidewalks, but also of Christmas in its endless halo of Yuletide lanterns. The minute you arrive you'll be in a frenzy to park your car and race out to explore these hilly promenades, but the ambience, and more likely the physical taxation of its hillside layout, will force you to a bench -- or a tavern -- to relax without budging for the rest of your stay.
