🌿 Ravenden Springs is one of those hidden Arkansas treasures that still feels magical. The natural spring was once believed to have healing benefits, drawing visitors from all over. The Southern Hotel was built in 1883 by Captain R. D. Welsh and it stood right above the spring, with a staircase that still stands today, leading guests down to the water.
If you’ve never explored it, it’s a peaceful spot full of history, charm, and scenic beauty. Worth the stop if you’re passing through or planning a weekend adventure.
