The Arkansas Arboretum is a 71-acre (29 ha) arboretum within Pinnacle Mountain State Park in Little Rock, Arkansas, United States.[1] Situated below Pinnacle Mountain along the Little Maumelle River,[2] the arboretum's flora and tree plantings correspond to Arkansas's six geographical regions, ranging from the flat-topped hills and steep valleys of the Ozark Plateau to the flat bottomland and tallgrass prairies of the Mississippi alluvial plain, with a 0.6-mile (1 km) paved interpretive trail.[3]
There are 3 designated accessible spaces in the paved parking lot off of Pinnacle Valley Road at the north end of the trail. All of them are van-accessible with striped access aisles. The trail surface is paved asphalt or concrete and smooth. It is typically at least 6 feet wide.[4]
The whole trail is estimated to be in the mostly gentle (5% or less) grade category. This trail will likely be navigable for most wheelchairs/mobility equipment or stroller users. There are benches along the route for resting. There are no accessible bathrooms near this trail, and the closet one is located near the park’s other entrance near KingFisher. There are no accessible picnic tables, but there are accessible water fountains.[5]
