Take a walk, jog, or bike ride across Big Dam Bridge, which spans the Arkansas River and connects a long network of scenic riverside trails. North America's longest pedestrian/bicycle bridge, the structure rises almost 30 m (90 ft) over the river and boasts a total length of 1,288 m (4,226 ft). You'll find eight observation areas along the bridge that offer panoramic views of the river and the nearby trails and parks. At night, the attraction showcases a rainbow of colored lights; in fact, the bridge incorporates award-winning lighting design. Check online for upcoming special events like full moon walks and bicycle races.

  I've never seen a tug boat go through the channels with a load before. That was pretty sweet to watch. It was interesting to learn how the channels worked. The view from the middle of the bridge is gorgeous. I didn't get the chance to throw it into my excercise routine, but I think it'd be a good addition. I don't like spiders, so I didn't like to get close to either side of the bridge to get a better view. But, there's nothing that can be done about them.

  Brought the family here for a stroll. Scenic and serene. Plenty of parking. Walkways were fairly clean, but there were indications of pet traffic. Most people seemed pretty good about picking up for their pets. We only stayed for about an hour, but I imagine the sunset would have been pretty epic from here.
