Planned a quick couple's trip, what are the must do's? Looking to get some "mountain time" in, where are the waterfalls, clear mountain streams/lakes to go to? Bath houses aren't all that interesting to us, we'll probably check them out but we are more interested in driving to the mountains & seeing nature. Also, any restaruant recs? TIA
Also, is 3 nights enough or is it worth a 4th night, don't want to get bored.

Beautiful area, wife and I went a few years ago and its a great little town. We just drove around and would stop and hike different trails.
Dont waste your time on the tower thing, all it is an outdated shrine to bill clinton.

But a jeep on the way and go run through Superlift's Offroad park. Best in our area. Other than that go ride the ducks and grab a bite at that restaurant with the big deck over the water at the bridge (can't remember the name). There's also all kinds of stuff to go do downtown and you can always hit up one of the bath houses.

Benn awhile since I have been there, but the Arlington Hotel used to be a decent stay. Great Sunday morning breakfast.

Since you're on the OB board and mentioned outdoor things:
Lake Ouachita is probably the prettiest of the lakes around there. It's gorgeous. Boating is great on it, and there are scenic drives through the area of the Ouachita National Forest (Scenic Hwy 7 is pretty good). There's a 36 miles trail (Lake Ouchita Vista Trail) around it. Plenty of trailheads to jump on and off of it, I believe.
If you're into mountain biking, the Womble trail is pretty famous and named an "epic" ride by IMBA.
If you want to fish a cool little stream, the Little Missouri out of Lake Greeson (which is also really pretty) is pretty awesome. It's just under an hour away (Crater of Diamonds state park is also in that area, if you want to dig for diamonds, which I don't recommend, but some people like it).
The Garven Woodland Gardens are really nice botanical gardens in the area.
Cedar Glades park is has trails through a cedar forest.
Lake Degray is also really pretty.

I second lake ouachita. A beautiful lake with great scenery. Lake Catherine is a nice state park too. We never really found any great eats.

x2 on Garvan. And if you don't have a place to stay locked down, check out Lookout Point Inn. Great B&B I've stayed at multiple times.
