Cascades

Waterfall Hot Springs, Arkansas, United States

What to expect

The Hot Water Cascade, located in Hot Springs, Arkansas, is a unique natural feature where thermal water emanates from the hillside and flows into two pools. The water, which comes out of the ground at a temperature of around 143-147 degrees F, cools down enough to be touched by the time it reaches the pools. This is the largest visible spring in the park and is located on Arlington Lawn. The area is wheelchair accessible and has benches and scenic views. All ages are encouraged to view the thermal waters, but caution is advised when bringing children due to the hot water. The Hot Water Cascade is a popular spot for visitors to experience the natural beauty of Hot Springs National Park
