  • Magnetic Spring is just as beautiful & carefully protected & preserved by the local Garden Clubs in Eureka Springs. A more interesting twist is the added lore of its magnetic qualities! We didn’t get....  more

  • It is pretty and a fun little stop. There are picnic tables. It is a small area that was easy to spot if looking for it. It didn’t seem like magnetic folklore was accurate, but the kids enjoyed...

  • Enjoyed visiting this spring. It is said if you place metal in spring it wll become magnetized. Didn’t work for us but was fun experimenting
  • It’s good to see the place. Nice and small. A magic of nature.
  • Looked like they were doing a little work on it, but still a super cool spot to stop at. It was almost dark when we stopped by or we would've ventured the trails located around it. Lots of interesting history behind all the springs in the area. Can't wait to visit again once they are done fixing it.
  • We thought this was great. Spring water was actually running. You could touch the water. Great history, and presentation.
  • I know the experience depends on the rain flow, there was only a very small flow from a pipe in the wall and the bottom spring was disgusting. As well the large plaque on the wall had fallen and was not visible, they may have put it on the ground as there was one next to it however there was now a large unsightly hole in the wall. The only reason I gave such a high review I'd I know the flow largely depends on rainfall and that it was less than 2 minutes out of the way with no hike.
