1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa (Eureka Springs, Arkansas)
Nestled in the Ozark Mountains, the paths surrounding the historic 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa (National Register of Historic Places) and the trails connecting it to the town of Eureka Springs, Arkansas, offer walkers natural beauty and historical charm. The Harmon Park Loop, starting at the hotel’s front door, is a gentle trail that features a playground, skate park, and dog park. For a more immersive experience, Aine’s Way Trail begins behind the Crescent Cottages and connects to Spring Street near Grotto Springs.
Requiring a bit more stamina, the Magnolia Trail provides a direct route downtown, allowing visitors to explore Eureka Springs’ historic homes, shops, and natural springs from the hotel on foot. The downtown trails bring explorers to discover the historic sites like the town’s iconic Red Brick School house and Sweet Spring. After a day exploring Eureka Springs, walk back to the hotel for spa treatments, dinner, and drinks, or one of the hotel’s famous after-hours haunted history tours.
