PARKING
We do have more than average parking for Eureka Springs, we have half the spots of our occupancy. The trolly line runs in front of our building. There is a local taxi and sometimes Uber/Lyft. You can rent e-bikes at a couple places in town.
The trolly is $6 for an all day adult pass and works on all trolly lines. There are three transit centers – one about 1/2 mile to the east on HWY 62, one at the top of Planner HIll and HWY 62 and one just past The Cathouse on Main Street in downtown.
