    Arkansas Mineral Springs Directory

    Arkansas sits on two distinct mineral spring belts — the Ouachitas in the south and the Ozarks in the north. Together they make it America's most active mineral spring state.

    Hot Springs National Park

    47 thermal springs delivering 700,000 gallons per day of water that fell as rain roughly 4,000 years ago, filtered down through novaculite and heated by deep earth before resurfacing at 143°F. The bathhouses on Bathhouse Row still pipe from these springs.

    Mountain Valley Spring (Hot Springs)

    The most commercially significant Arkansas spring. Tapped since 1871, bottled in iconic green glass, naturally alkaline (pH ~7.8) with moderate TDS.

    Eureka Springs

    A Victorian spa town built around dozens of cold mineral springs in the Ozarks. Most are no longer commercially bottled but remain accessible at Basin Spring, Sweet Spring, Crescent Spring and others.

    Other Arkansas springs

    Heber Springs, Mammoth Spring (one of the largest springs in the U.S. by flow rate), and the smaller Ozark cold-water springs throughout north Arkansas.
