To see a truly impressive cliff overlooking a river, you don’t have to drive all the way to the Buffalo National River or the upper White River. There’s a park right here in Arkansas where you can enjoy spectacular bluffs, the gorgeous river, and the skyline of our capital city, all at the same time.
Emerald Park is located on West Scenic Drive in North Little Rock.
Emerald Park is 135 acres of prime hiking and gorgeous views, owned and operated by the city of North Little Rock.

The trail at Emerald Park is 5.3 miles long, and it’s truly worth every single step you’ll take.

The views of the river are absolutely stunning from those bluffs, especially because you can see even more bluffs from your vantage point.

The view from the bluff line never fails to astound, especially at sunset.

There’s also an abandoned quarry there. You can see that from the bluffs as well.

You can gaze across to see the skyline of Little Rock, a reminder that you haven’t strayed very far from town.
