Hot Springs National Park
For Teachers
 
Hot Springs National Park with its hot springs, natural areas and historic use of the springs for medicine and recreation can provide extensions for your classroom materials.

The park has rangers available to lead groups on tours with reservations at least two weeks in advance. We can arrange to have an American Sign Language Interpreter for your group if you let us know when you make your reservation.

We are working on more lesson plans that you will be able to download. Check with us periodically for updates.

Did You Know?
The name Gulpha Creek is a corruption of the French name for the stream. Explorer William Dunbar reports the name "Fourche รก Calfat" in the journal of his visit in 1804. Calfat eventually became Gulpha.
