What to know
A gently rolling to flat trail through upland forest and floodplain hardwoods. From the boat launch in the West Summit picnic area to the East Summit trailhead, the path leads from the edge of the Little Maumelle River through the boulder strewn eastern base of Pinnacle Mountain. A challenging three mile loop awaits those who choose to hike the base trail and over Pinnacle Mountain using the East & West Summit trails.
