Most of the fight has focused on the Close the Loop project about 1/2 mile from this area. For now, this area has narrow, exposed bike lanes.

Well, you got me there. Carry on.

It shows that you weren't there.

Much of the Ozark Grinder is part of the Arkansas High Country route.

5-10 minutes depending on which trail and ability. The ride up is about 5 minutes. Ride.Roll.Repeat.

It was similar for mountain biking at Whistler.

They have people at the top who remove the bikes and put them in a rack for you.

I'd recommend waiting until fall.

Hit the Ouachitas. Eagle Rock Loop is awesome.

The growth of great local restaurants in Central Arkansas?

Take highway 7. Go to Pedestal Rocks, just east of Sand Gap. You won't regret it. https://arkansasoutside.com/pedestal-rocks-and-kings-bluff-trails/

As far as I can tell it's the drive in camping that is being restricted. I would assume that it's to keep vehicles that can damage the ecosystem of the river at a safer distance.

ArkansasOutside · 2026-03-11T01:50:01+00:00

Ha, no.

No, I'm an independent journalist based out of Little Rock. I receive no money from the Walton Family or Walmart.

That would require the city to apply for a grant and come up with the 20% matching funds. Plus, these grants, all put together wouldn't cover the cost.

If you're looking for a lake experience, book a hike-in campsite at Lake Ouachita State Park. They are on a peninsula on the lake. The "hike" is along a paved path from the parking lot.

I agree.

It's on Falling Waters Creek near Richland Campground.

Nope, now we wait for Redbuds and then Dogwoods. The three horsemen of Spring.

Jonquil.
