I am a nature lover and self-proclaimed foodie wrapped in one package. In my previous life, I was an Accountant, but numbers were boring and writing is the only thing that fuels my soul. So, I write because it's my freedom...it brings me joy. When I'm not writing dope articles for OnlyInYourState, I am writing and editing articles for my online blog on Medium.com. Or, when I get the chance, I am off on a trip with my family chasing waterfalls, or simply exploring the great outdoors. My mantra is to always find the best part of every day and bask in it.
Arkansas is a playground for nature lovers, which means we have endless breathtaking hiking trails with natural wonders. Many of these trails will lead to waterfalls, scenic overlooks, hidden caverns, and more. But there is only one trail that’s on a mountain island. And you must climb steep wooden steps and hike into the clouds to get to witness the spectacular view from the summit. You’ll find this incredible trail on Sugarloaf Mountain Island in Arkansas.
Situated in the heart of Greers Ferry Lake is Sugarloaf Mountain Island.
The closest access point is at the Fairfield Bay Marina, and for a fee, you can opt to take the water shuttle. Or you can kayak, canoe, or boat for about a mile to the island.
With your camera in hand, you’ll want to capture the spectacular view of Greers Ferry Lake.
This hike is beautiful at any time of the year, and while standing at 1,000 feet above sea level, you’ll be awestruck and feel like you're on top of the world.
So, are you ready to take the wooden steps and hike into the clouds? Start by making your reservation with the marina. You can call the marina at (501) 884-6030 or visit the website for more information.
