This Quaint Little Trail Is The Shortest And Sweetest Hike In Arkansas

Arkansas has a trail for everyone. We have waterfall hikes, trails through caves, and even an island trail. Sometimes though, all we need is a quick jaunt to revitalize instead of an all day hiking adventure. Let’s hike to Artist Point, the tiny trail with a huge view.

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/
The most quaint feature of today's hike is the gift shop and museum that begins the trail.

The Artist Point Gift Shop & Museum is a family-owned business with all sorts of locally crafted goodies.
The trail begins just outside of the gift shop.

You'll come across a lovely little waterfall that's terrifically tranquil.

Walking through the trees along this hike is quite refreshing, but just wait till we reach the summit.

Artist Point is one trail that most definitely lives up to its name.
