Maritime-Related National Parks in Arkansas
- Located at the confluence of two rivers, Arkansas Post has served as a gathering place for many cultures throughout human history. It represents cultural cooperation, conflict, synthesis, and diversity.
- Water. That's what first attracted people, and they have been coming here ever since to use these soothing thermal waters to heal and relax. Rich and poor alike came for the baths, and a thriving city built up around the hot springs. Together nicknamed "The American Spa," Hot Springs National Park today surrounds the north end of the city of Hot Springs, Arkansas.
