Mammoth Spring
1 /
Small Rural Town, Big Outdoor Fun
With its roaring spring, trout-filled waters and small-town charm, Mammoth Spring delivers one of Arkansas’ most distinctive outdoor escapes.
Mammoth Spring is Arkansas in peak “Natural State” form. Outfitters and cozy resorts make it easy to jump right into floating or fishing, while the jaw-dropping scenery does the rest. The town takes its name from a National Natural Landmark that truly lives up to the hype, setting the stage for outdoor adventures that you’ll never forget.
At the heart of it all is one of the world’s largest springs, sending millions of gallons of crystal-clear water bubbling up every hour to form a sparkling lake and the Spring River beyond. History and playtime mingle at the state park, where old mill ruins, a vintage train depot, and a museum share space with picnic spots, trails, and boat rentals. Toss in a nationally recognized fish hatchery and you’ve got a small town with seriously outsized outdoor fun.
