Appreciate your help in finding little out of the way places around the Little Rock - Lake Maumelle area....

Tomorrow we leave to meet another couple at Lake Maumelle park for a week of r&r and wanted some local 'flavor' in and around there...
even considering a run to Memphis for a day...

What's your favorite eateries, haunts, whole in the wall dives ?!?

Will be checking back for your suggestions and thanks in advance !

 

**** of the Walk, it's in Maumelle/North Little Rock...opposite side of the River from the lake. If your in West Little Rock and want to try a burger joint that's a little different...Purple Cow. The Five Alarm Burger is OUTSTANDING! And the purple milkshakes are handmade.

 

Thanks - we will try them and tell em you sent us !
If you're bored come on by the public use area rv park site f16
look for the grey 250 and 5th wheel both with temp tags still

it's the first shakedown cruise !!!

 

As much as I'd like to swing by...going to be a busy weekend for me. Got a GTG for the AR chapter and the honey-do list. Don't think I'll even get to ride the scooter while I'm off. I wouldn't mention my name there, they might not serve ya'

 

WOW - you guys have a seriously ge-or-ge-ous state !!!

(Well a little less than before that storm we were in !!!)

Had a great time around the hot springs - little rock area !

Maumelle public use area rv park was nice...
pinnacle peak beautiful
hot springs stunning
clinton library - Eh

nice r&r - we'll be back !

 

Come by anytime!

Petit Jean is a cool place to visit if you haven't been there, either for camping or staying in a cabin. Lots of trails and neat stuff to see up there:

Petit Jean State Park – Petit Jean Mountain – Arkansas State Park

 

We actually tried to stay there, but was booked up...
so we took a drive to Petti Jean JUST before a storm climbed up the mountain -
STUNNING to watch it chase across the valley toward us...

My new truck would have a workout getting up that road !!!!

 

You think that's a climb. You should check out these two:

Mt. Magazine:
Mount Magazine - Arkansas State Park - Arkansas State Parks
(highest point in Ark)

Queen Wilhelmina:
Queen Wilhelmina State Park - Arkansas State Parks
(the lodge dates back to the 1890's)

Both sit on top of a mountain the vista are stunning with woody RV spots. They also have lodges with all kinds of rooms that you can rent to stay in....the last I heard both have a backlog for rooms a year out. My family and I prefer QW...but both are really nice parks and there are lakes within 15-20 drives if you feel the need to get wet during the humid summers. I don't know about Magazine, but QW will see allot of motorcyclist from about early October through late November (fall colors).

Glad you enjoyed your self and y'all come back ya' hear!
