Today I visited Hindman Park to see how the trails there are coming along. From the parking lot at the north end of the park, we hiked northeast along the unpaved trail that parallels Fourche Creek. That trail is a bit over a mile long and ends at University Ave. Coming back, we took a side trail to look at the rocky outcrop that some people climb on. A nice gravel trail with switchbacks has been completed leading up to the rock.
Hindman Park is part of a massive area of contiguous greenspace in the heart of Little Rock. It is my hope that the Hindman Park trails will be improved and connected to the old Western Hills Country Club, BFI landfill (it is closed and should soon become a park), Fourche Bottoms, Coleman Creek Greenway, Interstate Park, and the Audubon Nature Center. A map and description of what this would look like can be seen here.
A more detailed map and description of the trails in this area can be found in Trails of Central Arkansas.
