A great reason to stay at Lookout Point is because of our convenient location. We are only about seven miles from the event filled downtown area. Guests lodging with us take advantage of all the great activities that Hot Springs has to offer.
Other than the usual activities offered in Hot Springs, like touring bath houses, looking at a bird’s eye view of Hot Springs from the Mountain tower, and shopping in the downtown shops, there is a calendar of scheduled events that take place each month.
Here’s a quick look at some of the upcoming events in Hot Springs!
The Hot Springs Music Festival is currently taking place. Enjoy a walk downtown and catch a musical performance or two.
Magic Springs is a great place to spend the day on roller coasters and at the water park. Ride rides all day and then catch a concert at night. Little Big Town performed at Magic Springs last night. If you did not get the chance to see that concert, then be sure to go see Colbie Caillat. Caillat with be performing on June 13th at 8:00.
From now until August 20th, Cedar Glades Park has a 35-foot climbing wall. This wall is for all ages and skill levels. It’s a great place for children to have an adventure, and a great place for adults to be a kid again!
The Miss Arkansas America pageant is on June 13th. Come watch beautiful ladies from all over the state compete for the Miss Arkansas title and go on to compete for the national title of Miss America.

Each day for the past few weeks, Mama Duck and her ducklings arrive at the inn for breakfast and dinner, feeding under the bird feeders. Often during breakfast service, our guests enjoy the show as the Mama leads her brood up the property to the bird feeders. After a fine feast, the little family moves on to the pond and waterfalls where they swim, drink, and sometimes nap on the rocks. We’ve enjoyed watching this family grow from such tiny ducklings!
- Welcome to Lookout Point Lakeside Inn!
Although the mama is camera shy, the ducklings have been photographed by many guests. Our “resident” ducks, Lucy, Ricky and Fred (who claim Lookout Point Lakeside Inn as their home every spring-fall) have not produced any offspring this year to date. However during a recent outdoor wedding in the gardens, the trio came to the wedding and decided to attempt the mating process about 15 feet away from the bride & groom. The 3rd duck, sqwuacked so loudly that we needed to pause the wedding and simply laugh. One guest proclaimed the duck scene to be “a good omen for your marriage”.

Matthew Lovette and Mark Smith, the creative geniuses of Jumping Rocks Photography, recently completed a second photo shoot for the inn. Since their last visit 3 years ago, we’ve added the Hot Springs King Suite, Mountain View Cozy Room, the Lakeview Terrace condo, plus significantly rearranged the Romance King Suite.
Capturing great images at Lookout Point
Besides being great photographers, these guys are two of the kindest people in the world. We just love having them around. They captured incredible photos (soon to be placed on our website) of the new rooms, and also great photos of the gardens in springtime. Abundant thanks to Matthew & Mark!

Captain Ray & guests
What a glorious day for a boat ride on Lake Hamilton. Sunny, gentle breezes, blue sky, and great people. Steve & Shelley, enjoying their second stay at Lookout Point Lakeside Inn, decided to go for a ride with “Captain” Ray. Taking guests on boat tours, sharing stories about the lake’s history, pointing out the amazing mansions and their stories, is one of Ray’s favorite innkeeping tasks.
If only I could dock the boat, I’d share this hard duty with Ray. 
What a great place to live and work!

The lush green gardens of Lookout Point Lakeside Inn welcomed the wedding of Aaron & Shannon on May 8. Following the rains, the gardens are bursting forth with new growth. The calm and happy couple beamed throughout the ceremony. Shannon carried the vintage family Bible, given by her mother and carried at her own wedding years ago. A nice touch! Congratulations and best wishes,
Kristie

Rain rain go away. Come back another day. Even though the rain was greatly needed to drown out the pollen in the air, it makes for icky days outside. Even with all the rain, the spirit of our guests is not soggy. Just this morning we had a couple interested in hiking in the rain. We suggested they take a trip to Lake Catherine and hike to the beautiful waterfall. Since we have had so much rain the past few days, the waterfall should be flowing and make for a great place to hike to. Speaking of hiking, mentioned in an earlier Lookout Point blog, we introduced our newest package, the “waterfalls and picnic package.” This package is a very adventerous one that leads to many of the great waterfalls in Arkansas. Even though this package is intended for the sunny days of the season, it goes to show that even rainy days are great for waterfall exploring as well. Call the inn (501-525-6155) to reserve your Waterfalls & Picnic Package!
