Pinnacle Mountain State Park is a charming 2.356-acre state park in Pulaski County, located just outside the city limits of state capital Little Rock. The park is anchored around the iconic landmark mountain of the same name, which is surrounded by the lovely bottomlands of the nearby Big and Little Maumelle Rivers. It was opened to the public in 1973, though its lands had long been a popular hiking and rock climbing site since the construction of area railroads in the 1890s. Today, it offers a variety of outdoor adventure opportunities, including a massive network of 15 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails of varying skill levels. Visitors can hike to the summit of the mountain via two trails, including the West Summit Trail, one of Arkansas' most-trafficked public hiking trails. The three-quarter-mile Arkansas Trail also offers access to the beautiful 71-acre Arkansas Arboretum, which exhibits displays of native flora.
