Pig 'N Chik BBQ

Take a boat out for a spin, test your arm strength rowing a canoe, use the winds to your advantage on a sailboat or cast a line in the waters of Lake Maumelle. The beautiful, blue lake is a great place to spend some time outdoors, soak up some sun and enjoy your favorite water sports. Don't forget your sunscreen!

Check the performance calendar at the Robinson Center to catch the next performance by the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra, or a Broadway performance like Chicago or Les Miserables.

Have dinner and drinks at the West End Smokehouse & Tavern.

Pizza, barbeque, burgers and everything in between are available on the menu.
