Outdoor Sports

With two beautiful
lakes and two scenic rivers, Eureka Springs is a jewel set in an
outdoorsman's paradise. The White River is one of the best trout
streams in the nation, Beaver Lake's pure water is perfect for scuba
diving, and the Ozarks offers amazing opportunities for rock
climbing and caving. Hiking, boating, cycling, swimming, skydiving,
and kayaking are popular in this region, too. The Retreat at Sky
Ridge has parking space for boats and free day passes to Beaver Lake
for guests. The pass provides access to boat ramps, large & small
covered picnic areas, swimming and other amenities.
The Arts
Eureka Springs has
been a destination of choice for artists for centuries. The town is
currently home to more than 200 working artists, more than twenty
art galleries, the Writers Colony at Dairy Hollow, Opera in the
Ozarks, dozens of music venues, and arts festivals of all kinds.
American Style magazine has listed Eureka Springs in their list of
top arts destinations for the past two years. The Retreat at Sky
Ridge features the work of local artists in the appointments of the
cabins and throughout the resort.

There are more
weddings per capita in Eureka Springs than anywhere else in the
world. The area boasts over 40 unique wedding venues, including the
stunning Thorncrown Chapel, listed among the American Institute of
Architecture's Top Designs of the 20th Century. The Retreat at Sky
Ridge is the nearest facility to the Thorncrown Chapel with ample
accommodations for wedding parties & receptions. The grounds of The
