PFEIFER LOOP, NORTH LITTLE ROCK

Location:

The well-marked main trailhead is near the north end of the Big Dam Bridge in North Little Rock.

Length:

The dirt loop is only 1.8 miles. Park on the Little Rock side and walk across the bridge to add 2.2 miles to your round trip.

Main attractions:

A more sylvan alternative to the nearby asphalt river trails, the loop is a visual deep woods treat that’s cooler in the summer and wind-sheltered in the winter.

Hazards:

None.

Amenities:

Parking, water, toilet.

Dog, bike, tyke friendly?

Built for beginning mountain bikers and equestrians, the trail is also perfect for dogs (on a leash), young children and the entire family.

Rating (out of five): 5 stars
