Bottomland Trail winds through bottomland hardwood forest and wetlands along the Arkansas River—excellent for intimate nature scenes, birdlife, boardwalk leading lines, seasonal wildflowers and misty mornings. Easy, flat trail with boardwalk sections and free parking at the trailhead; no entry fee. Best light at sunrise or golden hour; spring and fall bring migratory birds and colorful foliage. Weekday mornings are quieter; bring insect repellent in warm months.
