Northwood Park

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!

Browse fine art from national, international and local artists at the Boswell Mourot Fine Art gallery. Currently there are over 30 artists featured in the gallery, with art medias including painting, sculpture, drawing and more. The gallery is a great way to stay up to speed on the ever-changing art scene.

Develop your green thumb with skills learned from the professionals you'll meet at the Arkansas Flower & Garden Show. Over 100 landscaping and gardening vendors participate in the event, offering "how to" advice, tips for gardening, plants and yard décor to beautify your backyard, and more. You'll leave this festival a more knowledgeable horticulturist, with some loot to make your garden look good.

Spend a romantic weekend at the Rosemont Bed & Breakfast Inn & Cottages. The historic building dates back to the 1880s but offers all the amenities you'd find at a modern day lodging. Breakfast is made using the best local ingredients and in-room trays are available for extra time alone together. You'll forget you're near the middle of downtown Little Rock at this cozy little getaway.
