Most People Don’t Know About This Stunning Green Trail Hiding In The Middle Of An Arkansas City
Little Rock is known for many things (like mouthwatering BBQ) but its stunning trails usually aren’t the first thing that come to mind. One of these, Rock Creek Trail is quite the underrated gem. Let’s take a stroll around this gorgeous trail hidden in the middle of the city.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
You wouldn't guess it but there's a full fledged trail behind the businesses of Bowman Road. For directions to Rock Creek Trail, use this map.
The full trail is an easy 3.2 miles and family-friendly (four-legged family members included). Walking, running, and biking are all welcomed along the trail. The trail isn't lit so we do recommend taking your stroll mid-morning or in the afternoon.
The loudest sounds are just the trickling creek and tweeting birds.
Especially once you've reached the boardwalks through the mini bayous. With how developed the state's capitol is, it's easy to forget Little Rock used to be mostly swampland.
Little Rock has endless attractions and must-visits but this trail is one of our favorite city secrets.

Just a couple miles away is yet another stunning but underrated park.
