Going with the whole family (8 adults, 7 kids) to Lake Hamilton next summer and staying at a lake house. Doing some research on other things to do and good restaurants around the area. Any recommendation are welcomed and appreciated!

A few years ago we rented a condo on Lake Hamilton and really enjoyed the whole area. Boat rental was pretty reasonable.

A little bit south is Lake Catherine which has great hiking trails.

There is a brewery in one of the old Bath Houses in Hot Springs that had pretty good food. I know people speak highly of the pizza place there too.

Lake Catherine State Park has some nice hikes and a waterfall. Definitely see Garvan Gardens. We did a tubing trip on Caddo River. Superior Bathhouse Brewery was very good food and beer.

If you want to book spa at the hot springs, book early, they filled up fast when we were there.

Delucas is the popular pizza place downtown. If you are trying to go for dinner or on a weekend, make reservations. Grateful Head Pizza is also very good and easier to get into.

Rent a boat and cruise around the lake. It's incredible some of the houses on that lake.

Plenty of good hiking around that area. Also some pretty cool ziplining courses if the kids are old enough.
