Eagle Rock Loop Trail Recreational Trail the Ground
It’s a simple thing, really: a well-trod path through a place otherwise untouched, a scraggly aisle cut through a sun-dappled canopy. It’s rudimental and practical. It’s a way through. But as the eight routes featured in these pages prove, an Arkansas hiking trail can be far, far more than just a means to an end Edited by Wyndham Wyeth 60 ARKANSAS LIFE www.arkansaslife.com OCTOBER 2016 ARKANSAS LIFE 61 R.

Look for the clusters of acorns the blackjack oak has tossed aside; the horn of plenty ’VE ALWAYS BEEN OF THE MIND THAT those may live nearby.” who talk down about Arkansas have never actually set foot in the state. Surely, those folks have never been fortunate enough to see the unyielding natural beauty that abounds in this neck of the woods we call home. When it comes to the great outdoors, the variety found in The Natural State is inexhaustible.

This plan identifies how outdoor recreation is available through facilities and programs, and how public needs and interests drive the direction of new recreational opportunities. A core part of this plan is the priorities, which are recommendations to guide use and administration of natural, scenic, and recreation resources within our state. Significantly, it establishes goals for the disbursement of state and federal grant funds in Arkansas. Our lakes, rivers, mountains, forests and parks are the places where we take our families and guests for relaxation and to connect with nature. Arkansas residents value deeply the beautiful landscapes of the environment. These public resources are features that raise our quality of life, and play an important role in attracting and keeping people and businesses in our state. Ask an Arkansan, or one of the many visitors to our state, what they think of the state’s outdoors and you’ll hear stories of appreciation, adventure, and praise.
