MAYOR BUTCH BERRY
WELCOMES YOU
TO EUREKA SPRINGS
Steeped in history, clinging to limestone walls, nestled in
the mountains, and surrounded by water, Eureka Springs
has been called the authentic “Cultural Island” in North-
west Arkansas. The quirky ‘cosmo-urban’ atmosphere is
alive and brimming with activities all year long. If you want
a truly unique ‘foody’ experience – you’ll find it here with
over 60 restaurants - most of which are chef-owned and full
of culinary flare. If you’re an art lover – you’ve just found
paradise! Eureka Springs has been a vibrant art village
since the early 1920’s and we’ve been known around the
world for our art and architecture ever since. Today, we
have over 350 working artists, performers, musicians and
more than 30 art galleries. There are working artist studios
scattered throughout town that are open to the public.
If you’re more of the outdoorsy type – you’ve just found
nirvana! For an adrenaline rush, try out the zip line or the
miles of rugged to tame mountain biking trails, hiking and
multi-use trails, or explore the many caves and caverns.
For the wet & wild in you, head to one of two rivers or three
lakes for great fishing, smooth water for canoe or kayak
floats, boating, jet skiing, paddle boarding or Stand Up
Paddle boarding.
Eureka Springs has lots of attractions and points of
interest. Stroll through town and take in over 65 natural
springs with manicured pocket parks. Venture into the
wild at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge or head to Lake
Leatherwood Park, one of the largest city parks in the U.S.
Make it an evening at The Great Passion Play or take in
the stellar beauty and architecture of the famous Thorn-
crown Chapel.
The Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center is a great place
to start your visit. There you will find everything you need
to know about Eureka Springs including the many unique
shops, event and festival information, how to plan your
wedding, anniversary, family vacation or reunion, business
meetings and conferences, lodging information, entertain-
ment options and discount tickets.
Eureka Springs is a mystical, magical place that welcomes
everyone…and we’re sure glad you’re here.

HERITAGE & HISTORY
Eureka Springs is one of the largest historic districts in Arkansas. The
National Trust for Historic Preservation named it one of 12 Distinctive
Destinations in America.
Legend has it that warring Native American tribes were so enamored
with the natural springs around what is now Eureka Springs that they
would lay down their arms and enjoy the springs in peace. That same
kind of peace can be experienced today in our quaint mountain village.
The city is passionate about preserving this treasure, and with good
reason. The town was founded and named on July 4, 1879. Hundreds
of Victorian homes have remained. Today, tiny cottages and elaborate
mansions line the streets. Some are tucked into the mountains along
with every other architectural style from mid-century classing (including
a Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian home) to contemporary and tree houses.
There are 360 streets that wind around the town which intersect only
once at a right angle. Sixty-eight miles of 100+ year-old hand stacked
limestone walls line the town. There are no traffic lights. Along the
entire downtown of Eureka Springs, there are 14 properties listed on
the National Register of Historic Places and 27 listed in Carroll County.
Eureka Springs has historically been called “The Little Switzerland
of America” and “The Stairstep Town” because of its European look,
mountainous terrain and the winding, up-and-down paths of it streets
and walkways. The Historic Loop has an alpine character with an exten-
sive streetscape dotted with springs, grottos and trails. Eureka Springs
is also known as the “City that Water Built” because of the restorative
and healing properties of its Springs, which were once sacred to Native
American tribes and attracted thousands of health-seekers.

Creek Wildlife Refuge, Opera in the Ozarks, ghost

1.800.6EUREKA 11 #OnlyInEurekaRIDE EUREKA SPRINGS
“It’s all about the ride,” is a phrase often said by people that
enjoy the road from a motorcycle seat. That’s why riders
from all over the United States have discovered Eureka
Springs as a motorcycle vacation destination. Sitting in the
heart of the beautiful Ozark Mountains, the roads leading in
and out of our city make us the best place to headquarter.
From routes like the Pig Trail, recognized in USA Today as
the 2nd Best Ride in the Country, to back roads and scenic
highways that include rolling hills, open stretches of black-
top, twisting curves and switchbacks, you quickly see why
Arkansas truly is “the Natural State”.
No matter what motorcycling skill level you have, there’s
a road with your name on it promising a saddlebag full
of great memories. There are many reasons why we have
been featured in national publications and on popular
television shows like “The Motorhead Traveler” featured
on MAV-TV, and why motorcycle clubs and organizations
have chosen Eureka Springs for their regional and national
rallies. Eureka Springs is favored by many bikers every
September as they participate in Bikes, Blues and BBQ,
one of the nation’s largest motorcycling events.
We have all the amenities needed for a successful event
including great rides, biker friendly lodging and camping,
good food, drink, shopping, entertainment and nightlife.
Part of the “Eureka Experience” is visiting our historic
downtown. If you choose to do so, please remember
our limestone buildings, sidewalks and hard surfaces
positioned in a cavernous canyon amplifies all sound.
Therefore when downtown, let’s create an Extraordinary
Experience for Everyone. Remember… “Idle is Ideal!”

THE WET, WILD
& WONDERFUL
OUTDOORS
Eureka Springs is rich with natural resources,
beauty and adventure. Tucked between Beaver
and Table Rock Lakes, and close to the White,
King and Buffalo Rivers, outdoor recreation is
plentiful and diverse. Hiking, biking, swimming,
boating, fishing, zip-lining, hunting, cave exploring,
waterfall spotting and bird watching are favorite
past times. Enjoy a scenic lake cruise and hear
the history of Beaver Dam and the Ozark Bluff
Dwellers or watch for eagles during the month of
October. Over 1800 acres of city park and land offer
and up-close-and-personal look at wildlife, rare
species and the wonders of nature. Eureka Springs
is consistently singled out as one of the best places
in the country to take in the fall colors.
One of the hottest things going in Eureka Springs is
the miles and miles of multi-use trails for mountain
biking, hiking and multi-sport competition. Lake
Leatherwood Trails ramble through a 1600-acre
park with and 85-acre spring-fed lake and features
one of the largest hand-cut limestone dams in the
U.S. The biking is excellent with trails that go from
easy to advance with over 400 feet of elevation
gain from the lowest trail to the highest. Many
rocky ledges, steep slopes, extended grades, creek
crossings and varied terrain make most trails chal-
lenging for both foot and bike traffic. Leatherwood
is free, open all year and is an awesome place to
camp, ride, boat and hang out. It also boast’s the
only ‘true’ natural feature downhill in Northwest
Ozark Mountain Ziplines
Arkansas and the trail system host’ s the annual
Fat Tire Festival.
There’s plenty of the great outdoors to take in just
by staying in town. The in-town trail system will
take you by many of our 65+ natural springs and
pocket parks, the Harmon Park Rain Garden and
many of the historic sites and amazing architecture.
For an adrenaline rush, zip-line through the moun-
tains or ski, scuba and stand up paddle board on
beautiful Beaver Lake. For a more laid back expe-
rience, the White, King and Buffalo Rivers are ideal
for floating, fishing or just taking in the natural
beauty of the Ozarks.

PARKS
& TRAILS
Eureka Springs is for outdoor lovers. Nestled
in the Ozark Mountains, Eureka Springs is
the perfect base camp for all types of outdoor
activities. Flanked by the White and Kings
River, (that both run north,) scenic float
trips, swimming and world class fishing are all
nearby. Within a 20 minute drive are two crys-
tal clear highland reservoirs; Beaver Lake and
Table Rock Lake. Both are known as excellent
fisheries and offer many amenities.
Eureka Spring’s Lake Leatherwood City Park
offers an 80 acre, spring fed lake in the middle
of 1600 acres of rugged Ozark beauty. Originally
built by the CCC, recent renovations have
helped to bring the luster back to this gem.
The park has boat rentals, excellent fishing,
swimming, a large playground, camping, cab-
ins, and nearly 25 miles of trails. Much of the
trail system has hand cut single track that has
been challenging and exhilarating hikers and
mountain bikers for over 20 years.
Eureka Springs is an excellent place to stay for
mountain bike enthusiasts, with over 200 miles
of world class trails and bike parks within an
hour’s drive. Part of the Oz Trails system that Dinner Bell Ranch
promotes “Year-Round Ozark Singletrack,”
Lake Leatherwood is one of the original moun-
tain bike trail systems in the state, second only
to Devils Den State Park. The Fat Tire Festival
and Race has been held at Leatherwood since
1998.
Northwest Arkansas has established itself as a
premier mountain biking destination. Nearby
Bentonvile hosted the International Mountain
Biking Association World Summit in 2016 and
the region was also named one of the first
regional ride centers by IMBA. OZ Trails were
also used by Bike Magazine to test bikes for the
2017 Bible of Test Bikes issue. Eureka Springs
is the perfect location to take advantage of all
Northwest Arkansas has to offer the outdoor
enthusiast.

TASTE OF EUREKA
It’s very rare to visit a city with over 100 restaurants and
only 3 of them are chain eateries! Well – welcome to the
food scene in Eureka Springs. Our entire downtown is on
the National Registry of Historic Places so no chains – food,
shops or otherwise – are allowed. The cuisine and spirits are
as diverse as the town itself. Most of the restaurants are chef-
owned and operated with the menus dripping with secret
family recipes and ingredients. No matter your taste or diet,
you won’t go hungry or thirsty in Eureka Springs. Mexican,
Thai, Italian, fusion, farm-to-table, barbeque, burgers,
steak, fish, Chinese, southern comfort and low-south tastes
can all be satisfied with options spanning down-home
southern comfort food to award-winning bistros and 5-star,
high continental cuisine. You’ll also want to visit our two
wineries, brew-pubs and coffee houses. There’s no place like
Eureka Springs for extraordinary dining experiences.

HEALTH
Eureka Springs was founded by “health seekers”. Legend has
it that Native Americans of the Osage discovered therapeutic
relaxation and spiritual connectivity here from the ‘healing
waters’ of our natural springs, the pure mountain air and
locally grown and harvested foods. Word travelled fast that
Eureka was the “Road to Health”. People from all over flocked
to the town creating one of America’s most popular resort des-
tinations - the first of its kind in the Midwest and Midsouth.
Rest, relax and rejuvenate by scheduling a spa treatment by
one of our many professional health practitioners that com-
bine new technology and techniques with traditional massage.
Let off some steam by taking a steam or sauna. Go a bit deeper
with aromatherapy, acupressure, acupuncture, facials, primor-
dial sound medication, reflexology or just good ole exercise.
As a natural health conscious community, we are proud of our
local Famers Market, natural food stores and herbal apothe-
caries and pharmacies.
And remember, this is not only good for you, it feels good too!
A spa visit is a great way to release stress and it’s a wonderful
way for couples to reconnect by enjoying a couple’s massage.
