An Introduction to Northwest Arkansas
 Interstate 540, known as the Corridor, connects many Northwest Arkansas communities: Bentonville, Rogers, Springdale and Fayetteville. Those towns have many attractions typically found only in metropolitan areas since the Corridor has half a million residents.
Eureka Springs is an easy 40 mile drive from I-540 along US-62. From Eureka Springs, you can daytrip to various parts of Northwest Arkansas to see the University of Arkansas’ Razorbacks, the Northwest Arkansas Naturals, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art or follow the Arkansas Art Trail then head back to Eureka Springs.
West of Eureka Springs and before I-540, you have the entire Beaver Lake Region with all it's magnificence.
East of Eureka Springs, you will find Harrison 45 miles away, park headquarters for the Buffalo National River and the 1929 Hotel Seville.
Finally, south of Eureka Springs, you can drive beautiful AR-23, a beautiful drive that leads you down to I-40 and then on to Little Rock. Along AR-23, you will find Turpentine Creek, an impressive big cat rescue operation. You will also find many peaceful and beautiful places to rest or overnight.
