Sandy Bottom Boulevard

Trail Overview

This trail provides access to what is the easiest entrance to the Arkansas River sandbar, making it a preferred route for those looking to reach the river without tackling extreme terrain. The trail itself is mild, with no major obstacles and only a few shallow mud holes, all of which appear to have a firm bottom. However, caution is still necessary. The condition of the sandbar can change overnight due to fluctuating water levels, erosion, or shifting river flow. Before attempting to drive onto the sandbar, it's important to stop, assess the river level, and confirm that the surface is stable and exposed. While simple in nature, this trail requires situational awareness near the river's edge.
