With its beautiful tourist spots and historic sites, North Little Rock forms part of the heart of Arkansas. One of the many interesting things you will find here is the 311-submarine present during the signing in Japan after World War II.
North Little Rock went by different names before officially adopting the name it is carrying today. This city, located in Pulaski County, Arkansas, is home to the Arkansas Travelers, a minor league baseball team, and Burns Park, the largest municipal park in the United States.
The downtown area of North Little Rock is called the Argenta Historic District, derived from the city’s original name. Famously known as "opposite Little Rock,” this community boasts plenty of outdoor fun avenues with art and rich history.
North Little Rock may be small, but due to its proximity to the Arkansas River and water-rich neighboring cities surrounding it, anglers have plenty of options for fishing spots. This city bustling with life exudes a large town vibe without the anxiety-inducing bustle of metropolitan cities.
Lake Conway is a manmade lake with an area of almost 7,000 acres. It remains to be a popular fishing destination, and with reason. Here, anglers will enjoy an abundance of smallmouth bass, crappie, bluegill, bullhead, chain pickerel, and drum, especially from May through November.
For anglers who want to take their families with them, Pinnacle Mountain State Park is a great spot as it has plenty of picnic tables, a playground, and launching docks. One of its ponds is stocked with catfish, and the Little Maumelle River, which can also be found therein, serves as a great bass fishery. Other fish species include largemouth bass, brown trout, and redear sunfish.
Meanwhile, the Arkansas River is home to an abundance of white bass, channel catfish, and blue catfish. Lake Willastein Park, Two Boyle Park Pond, Dupree Park, and Lake are, recommended fishing spots.
Make sure you have your camera ready when you visit one of Arkansas' top attractions! The Old Mill is a three-acre site where you can find an excellent reproduction of the quaint 1880's-style watermill featured in the opening scenes of the iconic film "Gone with the Wind." It also has some sculptures made by Señor Dionicio Rodriguez. The lush flowers, particularly during the spring, provide visitors with plenty of aesthetic photo opportunities.
Featuring 30 art pieces, mostly composed of murals and sculptures, the Public Art Scavenger Hunt invites visitors to go around the city and appreciate art. Every piece is strategically placed outdoors and may be viewed and taken pictures of for free!
