CROWLEY'S RIDGE STATE PARK
Location: Park is 5.8 miles west of Paragould on Arkansas 168 North. The trailhead is to the left behind the visitor center.
GPS: 36.044169, -90.665993
Length: Get a trail guide at the center. Combine Dancing Rabbit Trail, the access trail, then the Spider Creek and Lake Ponder trails for a moderately easy 2.42 miles.
Main attractions: Deep scenic woods, ravines, a 54-foot suspension bridge, creeks, a lake and a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) overlook make for a nicely varied hike.
Hazards: None.
Dog, bike, tyke friendly? No bikes on trails, but dogs (on a leash) will love it. Small fry will enjoy the paved lake trail the most.
