The Big Dam Bridge crosses the Arkansas River and connects approximately 15 miles of scenic riverside trails in North Little Rock and Little Rock.
After 14 years in the building process the bridge opened in 2006. A favorite is the 100 miles cycling tour held each year. We felt fortunate to ride ten miles but what a pleasant ride it was alongside the banks of the Arkansas River, all level except the access to the bridges!
The bridge is only for pedestrian and bicycle traffic and spans the Murray Lock and Dam.
In the Two Rivers Park there is a community garden which I found intriguing. Lots of little spaces all fenced with their own gates and decorations. Several people were working their gardens but it appeared that these farmers spent more time sitting than hoeing.
