The European Americans were another culture to consider the springs to have healing powers. After the Europeans arrived, they described the waters of the springs as having magical powers. Within a short time in the late nineteenth century, Eureka Springs was transformed into a flourishing city, spa, and tourist destination. Dr. Alvah Jackson was credited in American history with locating the spring and in 1856, claimed that the waters of Basin Spring had cured his eye ailments. Dr. Jackson established a hospital in a local cave during the Civil War and used the waters from Basin Spring to treat his patients. After the war, Jackson marketed the spring waters as "Dr. Jackson's Eye Water." The Ozarka Water Company was later formed in Eureka Springs in 1905.Use our Eureka Springs trip planner to arrange your visit to Basin Spring Park and other attractions in Eureka Springs.

Eureka Springs is a town that was built around mineral springs many years ago. It definitely retains its historic charm and downtown with lots of restaurants and shopping. It was worth the drive...

Beautiful area, friendly people, great food, relaxing place to take a break from the downtown hustle. I can't wait to bring my kids to hike up and see the spring.

Very nice little sitting area with a small amphitheater for music and small events. Lots of cool eatery places right around it as well as a cool trail up to the spring. Lots of places to sit and take a rest after walking around busy downtown!

You have to visit Basin Spring Park while visiting Eureka Springs because it is one of the main (among many) springs in the area. Climb to the top to see the spring as well as a beautiful view of the city! Grab an ice cream cone or snack from one of the many shops located by the park and enjoy the day!

Very nice park in the middle of downtown area. It’s a cool place for adults, and kids. You can climb and go up. However, there was ki d music going on, so we were too occupied. The live music by different bands are extremely good organized. The sound arrangement is very well. There are benches.

We were close by seeing the Lion and Tiger sanctuary. All of them are rescues from people who have the stupid idea to have as pets when young. Some of them are abused and cross bred causing genetic problems . Really a great place , going later in the day is probably better. They lay around but still can see them while on there Tram that goes arouns.
