Withrow Springs State Park

Our trip to Withrow Springs State Park (near Huntsville) was a very quiet and pleasant experience. You can definitely tell summer is coming to an end and school is back in session because there was only one other couple camping there that weekend. It was kind of nice to have the entire place to yourself. It rained most of Friday night and Saturday morning, so we weren't able to do any hiking due to the trail being really muddy. We did visit the pool, which Jackson loved. The park actually has a great pool with some fun features, including a double slide. Since no one else was there, I made sure to return to my childhood and slide down a few times. I had forgotten how much fun that was! There's also a nice pavilion and park area. We didn't get to go to the park because there was a birthday party going on when we drove by, so we decided to keep going... all the way to Eureka Springs! Eureka is only about 25 minutes away, so we decided to go there for lunch. We did take the dogs this time, which was interesting because they love to chase squirrels and anything else in the wild. I guess it was a good thing we were pretty much there alone, because on all of our walks, they would howl and tree animals. Even with the rain, we had a great time and would recommend this park for a laid back time. There are only a couple of trails, so there's not too much to do at the actual park, but Huntsville and Eureka are close!
