Little Rock City Travel Notes

❇️ Downtown Area Includes the State Capitol, Clinton Presidential Library & Museum, and Junction Bridge 🏛️. Near Junction Bridge, you’ll find a riverside park and trails perfect for walking or cycling 🚶🌉. The Clinton Museum costs $12 💸 – but you can park for free outside and snap a photo without going in. The exhibits focus on the Clinton family and can feel a bit dry. The State Capitol is grand and offers free admission 👍. ❇️ Fine Art Museum Free entry 🎨! The surrounding park is lovely for a stroll. ❇️ Big Dam Bridge A 1.2 km bridge with free parking 🌅. Especially beautiful at dusk – popular with locals walking and biking. Highly recommended! ❇️ Pinnacle Mountain State Park Free to enter 🏞️. Grab a trail map at the visitor center. The hike to the summit takes about 40 minutes – steep near the top! Trails can get crowded, but the view from the top is worth it. ❇️ Wildwood Park for the Arts A quiet and pretty little park with several trails – nice for photos and relaxing walks 📸. But not a must-see if you’re short on time. ❇️ The Old Mill Famous as a filming location for Gone with the Wind 🎬. A small, well-maintained park – great for photos. Free entry and free parking by the entrance or along the street. ❇️ Hot Spring 🔹 Reservations are required for the baths – plan ahead! 🔹 Free parking is available at 128 Exchange Street. From there, it’s a short walk to Bathhouse Row. The Visitor Center offers museum exhibits and provides maps & bathing guides 🗺️. Take the Grand Promenade trail up to the Hot Spring Mountain Tower. Tower access costs $12, but there’s a free viewing platform at the base. 🔹 The Arlington Hotel has early 20th-century charm – fun for photos but a bit eerie 😅. Outside, the Arlington Lawn has a hot spring fountain where visitors often dip their feet. The whole town is dotted with natural springs 💧. 🍽️ Food Recommendations The Pantry: A bit pricey but delicious 🍴 Taqueria EL Palenque: Affordable and tasty 🌮 #Little Rock #Arkansas
