Description:
Scull Creek Trail, opened in October of 2008, extends from Maple Street north to Mud Creek Trail, providing a continuous 6.3 mile trail network. Scull Creek Trail is the "backbone" of the trails system due to its central location and connectivity to numerous parks, residences, businesses, and the University of Arkansas. The 12 foot wide trail is constructed of concrete in low areas and asphalt in higher areas. Lighting is included on most of the trail for increased safety and extended use in the evenings and installation will continue into 2009. Additional improvements will include colored concrete crosswalks at North St. and Sycamore St. including motion activated flashing traffic lights. In 2009 we also plan to extend Scull Creek Trail south of Maple Street to connect Frisco Trail. Click here for Scull Creek Trail construction information.
Scull Creek Trail offers a number of amenities: With a 12-foot wide paved surface, the trail accommodates the high number of usersranging from alternative-transportation commuters to a variety of recreational users. While closely aligning with Scull Creek, the trail crosses the creek at six locations with arching, weathering-steel, pedestrian bridges.

The trail also includes the longest pedestrian tunnel in the State - a 650 foot long tunnel with lighting under the Fulbright Expressway.
