Start at the Murray Park entrance in Little Rock. Walk across the 4,226-foot Big Dam Bridge. It is the centerpiece of the Arkansas River Trail and offers a unique perspective of the Murray Lock and Dam below.

Continue walking southeast for about 31 minutes from the bridge to Baker Park. This is a quiet spot to sit, rest your legs, and enjoy the river views away from the main thoroughfare.
