Visit the Arkansas Arts Center to see exhibits that showcase some extraordinary art pieces. Ongoing and traveling exhibitions feature works by renown artists like Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Edgar Degas, Auguste Rodin, Diego Rivera, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Paintings, sculpture, photography, and drawings are just a few of the art medias you'll see at the arts center.
Take a walk, run, or bike ride down the Arkansas River Trail - or at least part of it. The recreation trail stretches over eleven miles but isn't quite finished yet, when completed it will cover a total of 24 miles. If you decide to brave the whole trail, you'll be walking from downtown Little Rock, to Pinnacle Mountain State Park, from North Little Rock to Cook's Landing, and eventually across Murray Lock and Dam to the Presidential Library. That's a lot of ground to cover, be sure to wear some comfy shoes!
