Welcome to AR Own Backyard, my personal site that is all about outdoor adventures in Arkansas. Whether you are a seasoned pro that is new to the area, or a novice looking to get into hiking, cycling, kayaking, etc. This site is a place for you to find the information you need to get started.

I have pages of information related to hiking, cycling, paddling, and zip-lining in Arkansas. These pages provide tips, gear lists, and collections of links to other really helpful sites that I’ve used over the years to plan my trips. You’ll find everything you need to plan an outdoor excursion in our beautiful state. I’ll be looking to add more information to those pages and create new pages in the future.

Be sure to check out my Blog, where you’ll find my own stories that give you all the info you need on specific hikes, floats, bike rides, and more. And please follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube to stay up to date. For more information about what this site is (and is NOT), visit our About page. Hope you enjoy planning your next outdoor adventures in AR Own Backyard!
