What to Do in Hot Springs

Known to the Lakota Sioux as the Vale of the Minnekahta (hot water), Hot Springs is noted for its mineral springs and opportunities for year-round recreation. The warm mineral waters, once considered a cure for all ills, are accessible downtown. Many historic sandstone buildings, now used mostly for retail establishments, also are in the business district. Freedom Trail, along the banks of the Fall River, offers a nice stroll and a chance to see springs and a waterfall.
