Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in a routine? Similar to the movie “Groundhog Day,” the busyness of life and work can be overwhelming, and the best cure can be a weekend getaway. Here at Chris Crain Hyundai, we understand that vacations can get expensive- which is why we have created this list of some of the best weekend getaway destinations near Conway. Read on to learn about some of our favorites!

Greers Ferry Lake 

Summertime in Arkansas can be brutal! High temperatures and humidity even make walking outside like hitting a brick wall. Sometimes, the only thing you can do to cool down is hit the water. Just over an hour away from Conway, Greers Ferry Lake is the perfect distance to load up the kids and lake gear to get away for the day. A public access point allows people to soak up the sun on an artificial beach or hit the cliffs which are perfect for diving. We definitely recommend taking the quick trip to Greers Ferry for the perfect lake day with the family. 

Hot Springs

Perhaps one of our favorite places to visit in central Arkansas is Hot Springs! Just an hour drive from Conway, you can get away and still be close to home. Hot Springs National Park is the oldest national park in U.S. history, predating Yellowstone by 40 years. Walk the trails through the downtown park and see the natural hot springs. Hot Springs is also home to Bathhouse Row– consisting of eight victorian style bathhouses that were constructed in the late 1800s. Today, only two of the bathhouses are still in operation, and the others have been restored to preserve their history. If you’re looking to really relax after a long week at work, we recommend soaking in the hot mineral springs. 

Downtown Little Rock 

If you’re looking for a day or night out on the town- downtown Little Rock is a great place to go at any time of the day! The River Market’s entertainment district allows the party to continue from one restaurant to another. With an abundance of good places to eat, you’re guaranteed to find a place that even the pickiest of eaters will enjoy. Once you’re full, you can walk off those calories in the sculpture garden of the Arkansas River, or take a trip up the old Junction Bridge to get a better view of the cityscape. The city is the perfect escape if you’re looking for a quick getaway trip where you’re not spending hours and hours of time on the road.
