Located directly behind the Little Rock Audubon Center, this one-mile, ADA loop winds through oak savannah habitat and features interpretive signage, a picnic area with a fire pit, bench seating, and scenic views of downtown Little Rock. A connecting trail at the top of the hill travels along a nepheline syenite glade and connects to Gillam Park. Trail enhancements include a pollinator garden, rain garden, vernal pool, Chimney Swift towers, bat boxes, and diverse nesting boxes. Dogs are allowed but must be leashed. Trash cans are provided for use along the trail.
The trail is open seven days a week, from sunrise to sunset. The trailhead is on the center's right side with parking available in the main lot.
Encompassing more than 400 acres of diverse habitat, the park includes bottomland hardwood forests, upland hardwood forests, nepheline syenite glades, and wetlands. About three miles of trails are available for use. Gillam Park is a well-known hotspot for birders and native plant enthusiasts and is managed by Audubon Delta as wildlife habitat for the city of Little Rock. The park is closed to vehicles and only open to foot traffic. Cars may park at the gate (Google Maps pin) or at the Little Rock Audubon Center parking lot. Gillam Park can also be accessed from the Wildlife Observation Trail (above) from the top of the hill, at the cul-de-sac. Trails are open seven days a week from sunrise to sunset.
Little Rock Audubon Center does not charge an admission fee, but donations are appreciated.
