Alum Cove Natural Bridge Recreation Area Deer, AR 72628

"A good amount of parking. Restrooms. Well marked trails. Beautiful natural bridge. Sometimes waterfalls! Caves."

"Huge paved parking lot. Fun hiking trail with some unique rock features to play around on. The natural bridge itself is meh, The rest of the hike was the cool part. The Trail is between a mile and a mile and a half long, not too strenuous, but there is an uphill hike back. There are plenty of benches along the way to sit and rest if needed."

"What a place. We just happened to pass a sign for Alum Cove and decided on a whim to stop and hike the little trail down. We were so surprised by the beautiful natural bridge! It is massive and gorgeous. Our kids absolutely loved it! We enjoyed seeing wild grapes, flowers, and climbing rock stairs."

"Another beautiful area in Arkansas! Warning though once you cross the bridge the trail gets harder and less of trail when you cross a little bridge. We did have to climb over a couple of trees at this point. Also we had to back track because we didn’t see a spot to turn other than climbing up some big rocks then no trail at all. I do recommend going here and seeing the caves as well but have plenty of time before it gets dark as trail is not marked at all."

"Great little trail. The trail isn't marked, but you can tell the way. It's an all climb up on the way back, but it inclined out zig zagging nicely. You do have to climb over some rocks. If you have balance issues, bring a walking stick. You can go on top of the bridge and just to the side of it, there is a trail to take you underneath. We just walked to that and back up and was .9miles. Our friends walked to the bottom and back up and said was 1.7miles. There are benches to stop at if you need rest. Also picnic benches if you would like to eat lunch there after. Compared to other trails, this was mild even though you are climbing back up to get out. We are in our mid 40's a walk the 10k steps everyday, but not super active."
