Eagles Et Cetera January 27-29: Spend an amazing weekend on DeGray Lake enjoying the American bald eagle! Your Hot Springs Arkansas travel list MUST include this event. Activities include eagle watching tours on DeGray Lake, guided bird walks, owl prowls, and live raptor demonstrations. On Friday, don't miss the live falconry hunt. You will assist hawks in flushing out game and perhaps witness the capture & consumption of prey. We were lucky enough to catch this event last year and it was absolutely thrilling!
Live Thoroughbred Racing starts January 13! The first post of Oaklawn's 2012 season begins at 1pm on Friday, and racing continues through the four-day weekend. Notable dates on this year's calendar include the $100,000 Smarty Jones on Jan. 16; the $250,000 Southwest Stakes (G3) on Feb. 20; the $500,000 Rebel Stakes (G2) on March 17; and culminates April 11-14 with the Racing Festival of the South and the $1 million Arkansas Derby. Our Hot Springs Bed and Breakfast is ready to welcome race fans to Hot Springs for another exciting season!
