Little Rock Bicycle Trails

We transported our bicycles on the back of the motorhome on our trip to Little Rock Arkansas. 

Normally we don't ride upright bicycles as the riding position is too hard on our wrists, shoulders and especially crouch, but they fit well on the carrier and are much easier to transport than recumbent bicycles.


The cities of Little Rock and North Little Rock have created a series of bike trails that wind along the river and cross at two pedestrian/bike bridges at either end of the trails. One is the pedestrian bridge that is in front of the Clinton Presidential Library and the other is a sweeping curved bridge that crosses at the dam that controls the Arkansas waterway depth and where tug boats and barges lock thru.

There are steep hills by the bike path and Presidential Library. Large sheet of cardboard are provided for those who wish to "sled" or "surf" down the hills.


The Big Dam Bridge crosses the river at the other end of the bike trail.

















Several of the bike trail routes offer a relaxing ride thru the winding paths in the forests




Rest stops are found along the bike trail

  1. Looks like a nice bike trail. I'm guessing it was hot and humid though. :)
