Description: Several different trails, defined by green, yellow, or red blazes on the trees. Only the green trail, which I understand to be the longest, is described here.
About 50' before you pass the BMX trail, a single track trail crosses the paved road. Go in and go back behind the BMX trail, and continue to follow the green marks on trees. The trail climbs several hills/ mtns., and is rocky at points. At mile 7-8, cross back over the paved road and climb the final hill to a nice overlook over the Arkansas River. Fun downhill after this drops you back at the BMX track. Overall, a fun singletrack trail close to Little Rock. The green trail is about 8-10 miles in total length.
I am not from L.R., so maybe a local can describe the trails better.

Trail is receiving a lot of TLC. Wet spots being fixed, rerouting, etc,; so GPS track will not be very accurate. However with freshly painted blazes, and the confusing trails blocked off, will have no problem getting around. The work has made the trail easier, but more fun. Still a lot of rocks though.

Great little trail system with some good variety. Given the other trails close to Little Rock (Camp Robinson, Allsop), this adds some variety to weekend riding.

About 6 trails in all. Trails weave throughout the park so can be accessed from many points. Tried to ride everything and ended up with 16 miles. Trails were rockier than expected, would rate everything intimidate except for the Equestrian Yellow which is mostly flat and smooth. In the park are a pump track, BMX track, a buffed bermed flowing fun trail, (near BMX track), and a downhill with jumps (near the overlook). A good way to spend an hour or two without leaving the city.* Review edited 7/12/2010

Fun trail for after work ride or visiting Little Rock. Some long hilly sections and some long downhills. Overall pretty smooth trail but there are some rocky sections.
