Arkansas River Trail

Anchored by the Clinton Presidential Park Bridge in downtown and the Big Dam Bridge further west, the Arkansas River Trail is a 17-mile loop that runs along both the north and south banks of the Arkansas River and provides beautiful river views. There are five pedestrian and bicycle bridges connected to the River Trail, making for easy access points to both sides of the river. The trail is a must-see for visiting cyclists, hikers and outdoor enthusiasts, and is connected to more than almost 70 miles of additional trails and connects 23 parks and attractions. One of the trail’s defining features is the aptly named Big Dam Bridge that crosses over Murray Lock and Dam on the Arkansas River. The bridge is 4,226 feet long, making it the longest pedestrian-intended bridge in the North America.
