The city has a fabulous landscape of mountains, rivers, woodlands, and parks, making it ideal for a weekend getaway. Spend your sunny days exploring nature and hiking through the city’s hiking trails and paths.
Allsopp Park
Allsopp Park, located near the city center, has 3.7 miles of
intermediate earthen and paved trails ideal for hiking and mountain biking. The
trail is moderately difficult, making it suitable for hikers of all levels and
ages. It is also pet-friendly, but you must keep your pet on a leash. After a
short hike, you can relax on the picnic tables and take in the scenery while
sipping a cold drink.
Pinnacle Mountain State Park
Pinnacle Mountain State Park has a variety of trails that
provide an excellent workout. You can embark on a daring adventure on the
mountain’s East Summit Trail, which is highly technical but rewarding in terms
of scenery, or you can enjoy the steady trail on the West Summit Trail. Both
trails lead to the mountain’s summit, where you can take in breathtaking views
of the Arkansas River Valley, Lake Maumelle, and the Ouachita Mountains.
River Mountain Park
The River Mountain Park trail will bring you closer to the
beautiful and relaxing sights and sounds of nature, especially in the spring
and summer. The park is located in the center of Little Rock and can be
accessed through the Connor and Two River Parks.
The nature trail is 2.9 miles long and loops around a well-shaded creek. If you
plan to hike on the trail, make sure you have the proper hiking gear because,
while the trail is easy to navigate, the terrain can be challenging at times.
