Arkansas River Trail Again

We biked the Arkansas River Trail again today, starting at Two Rivers Park and biking east along the south/west bank of the river. We came upon this stainless steel sculpture by Kevin Robb entitled "Playing Ball." It's a 2012 Keep Little Rock Beautiful Project.


Sections of this trail are not well marked or are detoured because of construction, so we found ourselves consulting Google Maps to figure out where to go next.


One of the iconic sights of Little Rock is the capital dome.


We crossed to the north/east bank on the Main Street Bridge, which offered a view of the newly renovated Broadway Bridge to the west.


In North Little Rock we checked out the Big Rock Quarry. Little Rock and North Little Rock feature several quarries. It is indeed a rocky area.



We stopped along the bank of the river in a small shelter to eat our picnic lunch.

At the far western part of the trail, we crossed the Big Dam Bridge back to the south/west bank and headed home, tired and sweaty but happy.
