It’s the perfect place to build your dream home and use the existing home for business or hobby quarters. Add a garden. How about a barn to board your horses? Need a cabin for the kids and grandkids when they come to visit? You have plenty of room for it here either close to your main dream home or maybe over the hill and in the woods to preserve the privacy of both.

Only 20-30 minutes from watersports such as boating, swimming, and skiing. Fishing and camping nearby make for a quick getaway weekend of fun for the whole family. Fine dining, shopping, and best of all…

Prefer white water rafting, kayaking, and rafting? Well, it’s here, too, and even closer than Hot Springs, the Spa City. It’s right here in Hot Springs County, Arkansas from Remmel Dam to I-30 here at Malvern.

The beautiful scenery of Hot Spring County and the water flowing gracefully down Ouachita River make the trip here worthwhile. The average Arkansas whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so don’t forget that quite a few of the sections here are pretty easy. No matter if you’re whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a large number of paddling spots. The Remmel Dam to I-30 at Malvern section of Ouachita River in Hot Spring County is 6 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a
class I-II section.

Are you an adventurous foodie? You’ll have an opportunity to try the infamous poke salit aka poke salad and pokeweed, made famous by Tony Joe White of Poke Salad Annie fame, if you’re brave enough to be really adventurous.
