Hot Springs, Arkansas
With a name like Hot Springs, the activity du jour is easy to guess. This western Arkansas town in the Ouachita Mountains is known for the thermal springs, 47 to be exact, that bubble up in the adjacent Hot Springs National Park. Hot water has long been a method of treating fatigue and boosting wellness, so head to Bathhouse Row, the conga line of eight historic bathhouse buildings constructed between 1892 and 1923. These days, only two let you soak in spring-fed communal and private baths. The Buckstaff Bathhouse, operating since 1912, also offers massages, facials and body scrubs. The Quapaw Bathhouse opened in 1922 and has similar spa services as well as day packages for individuals and couples. In keeping with the theme, the historic 1890 Williams House Inn has nine rooms and suites, each with a jetted tub.

St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana
St. Tammany Parish is an under-the-radar gem with winding bayous, relaxed rivers and plenty of Southern charm just 40 minutes from New Orleans. Explore the area via the Tammany Trace trail — Louisiana’s first and only rails-to-trails conversion. The 31-mile, car-free path connects five towns (Covington, Abita Springs, Mandeville, Lacombe and Slidell) and winds past independent coffee shops, a brewery, farmers markets and lush green parks. Or rent canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards in Covington, and enjoy the meditative meander to swimming holes along the Bogue Falaya River. Stop at Mandeville’s Fontainebleau State Park to watch the sunset over Lake Pontchartrain and stay at the cozy Blue Heron B&B that is walking distance to restaurants, shops and the waterfront of Old Mandeville.
