LAST CHANCE LAKESIDE CAFE' ( on beautiful Lake Balboa )

"Last" Saturday of the Month - 6:30 PM

From Little Rock, take I-30 West to Benton. Take Exit 117 to Hwy 5. Take Hwy 5 "South" (it's really more west, but formally this is "south") to Hot Springs Village, approx. 18 miles.

Landmark: Large billboard on the right advertising "Cooper Homes".

The road to the East Gate entrance to Hot Springs Village is on the right at the top of the hill, just past the billboard (Cooper Concrete sign is on the left). If you reach the Texaco station, you've missed the turn.

After turning right past the billboard, you will enter Hot Springs Village through the East Gate. You will then be on DESOTO BLVD. Stay on DeSoto Blvd. until you see the Dentist's office at Ponce de Leon. Turn left and keep following the road around until you reach the lake. It's next to the Balboa Pavilion and Marina.
