Why you should go…

National Park Duck Tours runs restored World War II era DUKW amphibious vehicles from a ticket office across from Bathhouse Row in Hot Springs National Park. The land portion passes the historic bathhouses and downtown sites on the way out Highway 7 South, then the duck drives into Lake Hamilton for a cruise around St. John's Island before returning downtown. Narration covers the town's rise from frontier settlement to Victorian spa and its Gangster Era years. Tours run year round, daily from 9:30 am, with times varying by demand; free hotel pickup is offered.
