I want to know when the last flood was in Hot Springs National Park Arkansas?

Question

I believe it was between 1986 and 1989

Answer 1

YUP!
7 feet of water downtown.
Just before I moved there for a time. Left 2002.
Corp of Engineers responsibility. Released too much water from dam.

Answer 2

1990.
From National Park Service report, therefore no copyright:
"Flooding is another primary issue. Since at least 1883, flooding along Hot Springs Creek and its tributaries has been a concern. The creek arch underneath Central Avenue (the street adjacent to Bathhouse Row) conveys the normal flow of Hot Springs Creek but does not have sufficient capacity to convey storm flows that exceed a recurrence interval of about 3 years. Flood water volumes that exceed the capacity of the arch flow down Central Avenue and adjacent areas. Bathhouse Row lies along part of the east side of Central Avenue, while several private businesses lie along the west side and other parts of the east side of Central Avenue. Flooding“has approached catastrophic proportions” in some events and three lives have been lost because of the flooding. The most recent flood (May 1990) caused an estimated $5.3 million damage.

Answer 3

Make sure you take the mineral baths and get a massage at the Buckstaff. Go early in the day, like when they first open, or the lines back up. It is really cheap for what you get. Also, tour the Bathhouse museum in the old Fordyce Bath House. If you like old hotels, the Park Hotel has been renovated. I really liked it.
