Arkansas is well-known for its numerous thermal springs and mineral waters. At several locations on Center Street in the historical bath house district of Hot Springs, you'll see clusters of people gathered around public fountains, filling plastic jugs with the local water. In basements of buildings and under the streets, scalding hot mineral water bubbles out of the rock. The water is naturally sterile. The water at the fountains has had time to cool and there is a list of the minerals the water contains at each fountain. .
Quapaw is One of the Best
by BruceDunning
Of the row buildings, this one stands out more. It also is open for service, unlike the others, since 2008. A hot pool dip is $15 and treatments of massage, facial, are available ranging $50-100 generally. This house was started in 1922 and closed last in 1984. Original cost was $215,000. They got a spring under the building by blasting out rock and that increased the flow. The name come from the Quapaw Indians
Interstitial National Park Town
by grandmaR
Because the Hot Springs National Park is in and around the town of Hot Springs, I've used an anatomical term to describe the situation
" 2. Anatomy. Relating to or situated in the small, narrow spaces between tissues or parts of an organ: interstitial cells; interstitial fluid."
There are sections of the National Park in town (the bath houses) and also there are sections on two of the mountains east and west of town.
The town itself is more than just the National Park that is in the middle of it and surrounding it.
