I am a nature lover and self-proclaimed foodie wrapped in one package. In my previous life, I was an Accountant, but numbers were boring and writing is the only thing that fuels my soul. So, I write because it's my freedom...it brings me joy. When I'm not writing dope articles for OnlyInYourState, I am writing and editing articles for my online blog on Medium.com. Or, when I get the chance, I am off on a trip with my family chasing waterfalls, or simply exploring the great outdoors. My mantra is to always find the best part of every day and bask in it.
If you’re searching for the perfect town to get away from it all, then consider Elm Springs in Northwest Arkansas. This sleepy little town hidden in the foothills of the Boston Mountains is rich in history, surrounded by beauty, and brimming with charm. Let’s spend the day exploring this delightful mountain town in Arkansas and bask in all that it has to offer.
Nestled in between the Boston Mountains and the Springfield Plateau in the Ozarks, is the small town of Elm Springs.
As a result of the spring, the town was originally a mill community. Today, it boasts its rich history and culture and considers itself one of the "oldest little cities in Northwest Arkansas."

Currently, the spring is managed by the Northwest Arkansas Land Trust which has kept the area looking beautiful.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2020 and showcases hand-carved markers that date back to the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
For some true relaxation, head to Lake Elmdale, where you can spend the day paddling on the water or fishing for crappie, largemouth bass, warmouth, catfish, and more.
If you’re searching for a peaceful getaway, consider this sleepy town at the foothills of the Boston Mountains. It’s the perfect place to relax and get away from it all.
