Hot Springs/Diamond Lakes

Hot Springs/Diamond Lakes Welcome to Arkansas' Diamond Lakes Region, full of history, adventure and beauty! Average temperatures are 41 degrees in January and 82 degrees in July.

Nestled in the Ouachita Mountains, the Diamond Lakes Region includes Clark, Garland, Hot Springs, Pike and Montgomery Counties. We are home to five lakes – Ouachita, Hamilton, DeGray, Greeson and Catherine – and three rivers – Ouachita, Caddo and Little Missouri. The region enjoys a mild, four-season climate, which ushers in glorious spring and fall colors and allows for outdoor adventure year-rou

nd. Our stunning natural scenery provides a picture-perfect backdrop for fishing, hiking, mountain biking and more. On our lakes, you'll find several Arkansas State Parks ideal for affordable overnight stays on secluded campgrounds. Stop by the Diamond Lakes Welcome Center in Caddo Valley off I-30 or visit the Hot Springs Visitor Center in downtown Hot Springs for maps and additional information. Lakeside resorts, rustic cabins, historic hotels, spas and full-service marinas are located throughout the region. Whether you're looking to touch the sky on a state-of-the-art roller coaster, stroll the grounds of a botanical garden in bloom or dig deep for precious stones at the world's only diamond-producing mine open to the public, you'll find adventure high and low in Diamond Lakes Country. Hot Springs National Park, America's First Resort is also located in these parts. Treat yourself to an afternoon of relaxing spa treatments or pick your pony at Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort, a first-rate thoroughbred racetrack offering great food, exciting racing and rewarding games of skill.
