The Big Dam Bridge spans the Arkansas River and the Murray Lock and Dam between Little Rock and North Little Rock and is the longest purpose-built pedestrian and cycling bridge in the country. This unique structure was specifically intended to provide cyclists and pedestrians with an incentive to get out and get active against an impressive backdrop.

The bridge spans 4,226 feet and rises 90 feet above the waters of the river, connecting over 14 miles of scenic cycling and hiking trails on both sides. From the top of the bridge you can get a fabulous bird’s-eye view of the entire river valley, Downtown Little Rock, Emerald Park, Two Rivers Park, and Pinnacle Mountain.
