Hot Springs Dog Policy
Hot Springs National Park is Dog Friendly
Hot Springs was original established as a federal reserve by Congress on April 20, 1832—the oldest area managed by the National Park Service. Natural hot springs flow out of the Ouachita Mountains, providing opportunities for relaxation in a historic setting. Bathhouse Row preserves examples of 19th-century architecture. Hot Springs is the first national park in a city and was the smallest national park until 2018.[1]
Hot Springs National Park is dog friendly. Dogs are allowed on all the trails and at the campground. Please note that dogs should not be left unattended in vehicles.
