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 1 mile (1.6 km) 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.[2]
The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1]
