We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Loon Point Park and Farkleberry Trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
What runners say about Loon Point Park and Farkleberry Trail
“But there is a walking trail that appeared well kept and some beautiful views of Lake Maumelle.”
“It is beautiful in its own right and very peaceful.”
This is a relatively flat, easy hike, although it is a little toasty without leaf coverage. The end is a little bit abrupt. It used to go all the way to Vista Park, but they have made it an end now. It is beautiful in its own right and very peaceful.
This is a beautiful little park along Hwy 10 just about 10 miles west of Little Rock. It has a breath taking panoramic view of Lake Maumelle, central Arkansas’s drinking water reservoir. Bring you binoculars to catch a glimpse of the migratory bird, the Loon, in winter months.
Lovely little area to stretch your legs. Looks like there's no swimming, wading, camping, campfires. But there is a walking trail that appeared well kept and some beautiful views of Lake Maumelle.
Great place to take solar eclipse images. Friendly people running the park.
