Parking is available for the Little River Scenic Pathway at Decatur County Fairgrounds at the intersection of NW 18th Street and US 69. A small gravel lot can be found at the trail's western trailhead on Lake Road.
This is a high-quality, wide trail, mostly winding through trees, and an open area at the top of the hill past the cemetery. Hills are fairly steep. There are no lights on the trail, so at night most of it is quite dark. I went for it anyway, and it's nearly pitch black in places, but because the path is so well done, I still had no problems tripping on holes or branches. (A little nerve-wracking, but no physical troubles.)
The posts are to close together to allow a 3 wheel Tri-Cruiser Entrance. Should be at least 40 inches. Noel Keller
My son and I rode our bikes on this trail for the first time. We enjoyed the paved trail and all the wonderful smells of the plants along the way. I highly suggest this trail especially if you are just starting out to ride bike trails (like us).
I love this trail. It's very scenic. Past small creeks with many chorus frogs and birds. This trail is full of blooming trees and Queen Anne's Lace. I walk my dogs there several times a week. There are work out platforms along the way for sit ups, pull ups if that's your thing. There is a very nice small shaded picnic area, a gazebo and so on. It's well kept except in the winter. If you prefer a longer trail, just take 2 or 3 times around it. You'll see something different each time.
