Map showing the location of the trail along Five Mile Creek

Location: In North Little Rock, park in the small lot just off Kierre Road and John F. Kennedy Boulevard at the entrance to Central Arkansas Christian Schools (the former YMCA).

GPS: 34.811495, -92.244488

Length: I measure 1.8 easy miles out and back.

Main attractions: Tucked alongside scenic Five Mile Creek, the paved, well-used path (sometimes mistakenly called the Mary Anne Salmon Walking Trail) connects busy JFK and North Hills boulevards and offers a little slice of nature in the heart of the city.

Hazards: All those barking dogs are behind fences.

Dog, bike, tyke friendly? Yes to all three.

Rating (out of five): ....
