Little Rock Living

The setting for modern day Little Rock is picturesque with The Ozark Plateau to the north, Ouachita Mountains to the west and Delta farmland to the east, all of which offer an enticing variety of recreational possibilities. Mother Nature is at her best, providing endless opportunities for water skiing, hunting, mountain biking and hiking—all within an hour’s drive. And don't forget the public golf courses, which offer peaceful views along the Arkansas River and some of the most challenging links in the state.

Throughout the years, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission has constructed, acquired and purchased land and lakes to provide outdoor enthusiasts with areas to hunt, fish and enjoy the great outdoors. More than 100 lakes and wildlife management areas span thousands of acres across the state. Visitors and residents return to central Arkansas lakes time and time again to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in its bountiful waters.

About 12 miles west of the city, Pinnacle Mountain State Park touts more than 40 miles of hiking trails, two of which lead to the top of the mountain. The park encompasses part of the 225-mile Ouachita National Recreation Trail, which begins at Talimena State Park in Oklahoma. In Little Rock, Burns Park encompasses more than 1,500 acres and is one of the largest city-owned parks in the country. While most of the area is still wooded, several sections have been developed into ballparks, hiking trails, a miniature golf course, an amusement park, bocce ball courts, a BMX bike track, a disc golf course, playgrounds, soccer fields and an overnight RV campground. There are also picnic areas, a tennis and racquetball complex, and a golf course. Beautifully landscaped Riverfront Park in Downtown Little Rock is the site of many festivals, the largest being Memorial Day weekend’s Riverfest.

Riverfront Park, the city’s River Market District which sits on the Arkansas River, is teeming with restaurants, nightspots, shops and museums. Across the river sits the Alltel Arena, which holds up to 18,000 people for concerts, sports events and more.

The Clinton Presidential Library and Museum is another of the exciting attractions in this part of town and serves as the repository for the official records of the Clinton Presidency. In addition to the archival collection and research facilities, it features exhibits and other educational opportunities. The museum includes 20,000 square feet of exhibit space on two levels and features replicas of the Oval Office and the Cabinet Room. Permanent exhibits utilizing photographs, videos and interactive stations include a 100-foot-long timeline presenting the day-to-day work of the President and alcoves highlighting domestic and foreign policy efforts and achievements. Other exhibits focusing on life in the White House include displays of presidential gifts and other objects related to state visits, holidays and cultural celebrations.

Greater Little Rock is rich in cultural treasurers. The best of the state's theaters, music concerts and galleries are all here. The Arkansas Arts Center contains one of the best collections of drawings in the world, The Arkansas Repertory Theatre and Wildwood Park bring legendary productions to life on its stages, and the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra regularly draws the finest musicians in from around the world. Using the talents of both professional and community performers, the Children’s Theatre produces seven main stage productions each year.

The Aerospace Education Center, home to Arkansas' only IMAX Theater, offers a host of aviation and aerospace exhibits, including an original Sopwith Camel and a replica of the Wright Flyer. The IMAX Theater offers a wide variety of science related films. The Center welcomes groups, meetings, events, and summer campers.

The Little Rock School District operates 31 elementary schools, eight middle schools, five high schools, an early childhood center, a career-technical center, an accelerated learning center and two alternative learning centers.
