It is well known for its wealthy natural resources and amazing  wildlife. The Hot Springs National Park has it all from lush green  valleys to hot springs which are unique. No doubt it is nicknamed as  ?The American spa?. The park includes portions of downtown Hot Springs  and is one of the most easily visited national parks. No surprises if it  had seen more than 1.5 million visitors in the year 2003. 
Established  from Hot Springs Reservation, Hot Springs National Park is a United  States National Park in central Arkansas adjacent to the city of Hot  Springs. It was made a national park on March 4 1921. In the Hot Springs  National Park the hot springs flow from the western slope of Hot  Springs Mountain which is a part of the Ouachita Mountain range.  Interestingly in the park, the hot springs have not been preserved in  their unaltered state as natural surface phenomena. They have instead  been managed to conserve the production of uncontaminated hot water for  public use. The mountains within the park are also managed within this  conservation philosophy in order to preserve the hydrological system  that feeds the springs. People have used the hot spring water in  therapeutic baths for more than two hundred years to treat rheumatism  and other ailments.
In the hot Springs National park Bathhouse  Row is a Historic Landmark District. Other than the Buckstaff Bathhouse  which still offers baths, the Visitor Center is the only building that  can be entered. The vacant bathhouses, however offer beautiful  architectural features. Eventually, each of the now empty bathhouses  will be rehabilitated for use. The Bathhouse Row/Grand Promenade area is  the only place where the hot springs emerge. Most of the springs have  been covered for a hundred years to protect the purity of the water for  use in the bathhouses and drinking fountains.
