North Little Rock is a city of about 65,000 people on the north bank of the Arkansas River, directly across from Little Rock in central Arkansas. It grew up around the railroad as the town of Argenta in the 19th century, was absorbed and then re-formed as its own city, and remains an important rail center with a strong sense of identity.
The Argenta Arts District is the lively historic downtown, with galleries, theaters, restaurants, the farmers market and Dickey-Stephens Park, home of the Arkansas Travelers minor league baseball team. On the riverfront, the Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum lets visitors explore the World War II-era submarine USS Razorback, and the Simmons Bank Arena hosts big concerts and games.
The Arkansas River Trail loops through the city and crosses the river on the Big Dam Bridge, one of the longest pedestrian bridges in the country. Burns Park is one of the largest city parks in the United States, and the Old Mill in T.R. Pugh Memorial Park is famous for appearing in the opening of Gone with the Wind.
A riverfront museum built around the USS Razorback, a submarine that served in World War II and was present in Tokyo Bay at the Japanese surrender. Guided tours take you through the cramped torpedo rooms, galley and bunks. Wear flat shoes for the ladders and check hours, which vary by season.
A riverside park at the North Little Rock end of the Big Dam Bridge, the long pedestrian and bike bridge over the Murray Lock and Dam. It has parking, picnic spots, fishing access and trail connections. Start here, walk out to the middle of the bridge for wide river views, and come back at sunset when the bridge lights up.
One of the largest city parks in the United States, covering about 1,700 acres along the Arkansas River, with hiking and mountain bike trails, golf courses, a covered bridge, campgrounds, playgrounds, sports fields and seasonal amusement rides. Pick up a map at the entrance and plan a full day for exploring.
A riverfront park along the north bank near downtown North Little Rock, with a paved section of the river trail, lawns, picnic spots and fine views of the Little Rock skyline and the bridges.

A replica 19th-century water mill built in 1933 with whimsical concrete sculptures of trees, bridges and mushrooms by artist Dionicio Rodriguez.

A large indoor arena on the North Little Rock riverfront that hosts major concert tours, family shows, college basketball and other sporting events. It is the biggest arena in central Arkansas. Check the schedule before your trip and allow time for parking, which fills quickly before big shows.
A park on top of a high bluff above the Arkansas River with walking and mountain biking trails, an old military tower and sweeping views over the river toward the Little Rock skyline and the Big Dam Bridge. It connects to the Arkansas River Trail. Bring water, as the climb up the bluff is steep.
