Burnett Springs is the site of a former resort community in rural Logan County, Arkansas. It is located at the end of County Road 704, about 1miles west of the community of Corley. The area was developed as a spring-based spa resort by Captain John Burnette in the 1870s. A small town sprang around a three-story spa hotel, which fell into decline after 1915. The hotel burned in 1930, and all of the other buildings have succumbed to the elements. The only surviving above-ground feature is one of the spring sites, which is set in a stone reservoir box shelter from erosion by stone walls.[1]
The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
