Arboretum Day - View this location on map 'Cap off your visit to Hot Springs with a long walk through Garvan Woodland Gardens (501-262-9300), about seven miles south of downtown. The 210-acre park on Lake Hamilton is a meticulously designed garden and botanical preserve maintained by the University of Arkansas architecture department. Originally a native pine and hardwood forest, the gardens feature a series of waterfalls and curated displays of local plant life. With its fields of daffodils outside or solitary cranefly orchids indoors, it's the perfect segue between Saturday's raceday chaos and the upcoming Monday morning grind.''
