Forest Trail & Tavern
An easy golden-hour hike at Ben Geren that ends at a warm meal.
Fresh air, then food. We point you to a short, scenic, beginner-friendly trail around Fort Smith — the paved loops and forested paths of Ben Geren Regional Park, the Chaffee Crossing trails, or the riverfront — timed to end at golden hour, with a small daypack list so you're comfortable. Then a couple of cozy downtown picks to land at after, like Old Town Grain & Feed in historic downtown. It's the rare date that's active and relaxing in the same two hours.
