Central Arkansas River Trail alt routing
For those who roll on the River Trail, the mess at the Episcopal school is getting worse. Road debris, new cuts in the road bed and the general constriction is getting to be a pain. Come on Dillard's and Stephens... get your acts together and support fully the trail in front of your precious executive offices!
Saying that, has anyone found a better routing that maybe peels off Markham and goes up towards the Kavanaugh, Hill Crest and/or the Heights area and gets a rider back down to the trail? Might make for some good extended hill climbing and added miles. I'm just not that familiar with the area South of Cantrell.
Regards,
Cy

I've just been avoiding that area all together. I've been parking at the Sub, running the NLR side to the Big Dam Bridge and crossing to the LR side down to Two Rivers Park and back to the Sub. More miles than making the loop and in my opinion a better ride.

You could go straight down Markham to Kavanaugh then down Cedar Hill or down through Allsop park but the traffic on weekdays is pretty heavy.
