Eureka Springs, Arkansas made yet another list as one of the
The Most Picturesque Towns In Arkansas.
If you want to come see this beautiful town in an RV or cabin please check us out at Wanderlust RV Park. Located just 5 minutes to the historic downtown area.
Eureka Springs has nearly a thousand Victorian buildings stacked along its hillside streets. Heber Springs still has seven of the original mineral springs flowing through Spring Park downtown. Batesville's Riverside Park holds the state champion Chinkapin Oak with a 117-foot crown spread. Van Buren's Main Street is lined with 19th-century brick storefronts and the King Opera House from 1891. Across these eight Arkansas towns, the visual character is built from local stone, spring-fed water, and Ozark terrain.
Eureka Springs unfolds across steep Ozark hillsides as a dense run of Victorian architecture. The town holds the largest collection of Victorian buildings in the central US, with nearly 1,000 historic structures stacked along winding, elevated streets. Queen Anne gingerbread trim, Italianate cornices, and native limestone stonework remain intact after more than a century. The Crescent Hotel and Spa, built in 1886 from native limestone, rises above the town from West Mountain. Basin Spring Park preserves one of the town's 60-plus natural springs beneath a Victorian-era arched entryway.
The natural terrain inside the city limits adds a second layer to the architecture. Just outside town, Lake Leatherwood City Park spreads across forested Ozark hills with over 25 miles of trails. Crescent Spring sits under an elaborate Victorian-era gazebo with a copper roof and wooden posts overlooking the water. Grotto Spring flows from a stone-lined cavern reached by a short descending stairway.
