Confirmed from Cook's Landing Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

well-maintained 5 mentions

“Unfortunately there are dog walkers who do not clean up after their pup on the sidewalks which is really annoying.”

🏞️ beautiful scenery 6 mentions

“This One in Little Rock, Arkansas is Very Pretty as built Over a Dam & has Great Views of Pinnacle Mountain.”

I'm 74 and didn't know if I would be able to walk the whole bridge, but it was easy walking. The view was well worth it. Spectacular.

Great walk! Very nice views along the bridge walk, fishing avai, restrooms, and picnic areas

★★★★☆ — G. , Dec 2022

Love this area and the trails around it. I try to stop at least a few times a week. Great for walking, biking, or just to take in some natural beauty.

★★★★★ — Justin , Apr 2024

Pretty park, nice place to walk, run, or bike across the longest pedestrian bridge in the country.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
