About Hot Springs Mountain Tower
A lattice steel observation tower stands on Hot Springs Mountain in Hot Springs, Arkansas. An elevator carries visitors up to observation decks that look out over the Ouachita Mountains, the Diamond Lakes area, and the city below. Construction started in 1982 and the tower opened to the public in 1983. A gift shop at the base sells local crafts, regional souvenirs, and collectibles. Free parking is available and the site is wheelchair accessible. Visitors often pair a stop here with other sightseeing in Hot Springs National Park.
