About this property

The Sulphur Springs Park Reserve is a historic former spa area at the heart of Sulphur Springs, Benton County, Arkansas. The area is 16.5 acres (6.7 ha) bounded on the east by Lake La Balladine, impounded by a dam on Butler Creek. The park has modern amenities: the entrance sign lists courts and fields for tennis, basketball, baseball, and soccer; RV and tent camping, and picnic tables; swimming and fishing; and a playground. Central to the park is Lake La Balladine (meaning, the dancer) which is fed by Butler Creek, and four of the mineral springs that gave Sulphur Springs its name.
