When is the Best Time to Visit Eureka Springs?

Ultimately, the best time to visit Eureka Springs comes down to your own personal preference. Eureka Springs’ location in the Ozark Mountains means that it enjoys a variety of unique outdoor activities that take place in stunning environs. Some of these activities are better suited to colder weather, while others are ideal for higher temperatures.

If you are trying to avoid crowds, you might consider visiting when the weather is a bit colder.

SPRING

This is the time of year when the climate is most pleasant in Eureka Springs. The weather is warm and balmy, but not overly hot or humid, as it can be in the summertime. Soft spring showers ensure that the temperatures stay down, and colorful wildflowers and flowering trees begin to bloom, emphasizing the natural beauty of the area.

FALL

The weather in Eureka Springs is also beautiful in the fall. The hotter temperatures of summer begin to cool off as fall ushers in the vivid hues of changing foliage and seasonal events.

SUMMER

Temperatures during the summer range from the mid-80s to lower 90s. The hotter weather may deter some, but it makes for fantastic weather for the many water activities supported by Beaver Lake.

Things to Do Outdoors: Go swimming, take a catamaran out onto the waters, or explore the depths of a cool cavern.

WINTER

The brisk weather brought on by wintertime in the Ozarks is particularly rejuvenating. The temperatures drop a bit, which keeps the crowds at bay and tends to make winter a more peaceful time to visit. Some shops close, but many remain open. The views will also open up more as trees lose their foliage.

Things to Do Outdoors: If you’d like to brave the cold, bundle up and go on a horseback ride or enjoy the scenery from a hike. There are plenty of things to do indoors, too, so if you need a break from the cold, visit a museum or take the opportunity to browse the unique shops.
