Some trails are awe-inspiring by the mere nature of their magnitude; think the likes of the U.S.’s own Appalachian Trail at 2,200 miles and Canada’s Great Trail at a mind-boggling 14,912 miles! And yet, some others are content in a humble stretch of just a few hundred feet, if that.
In my ventures around Conway, I noticed some ‘paths’ that meet the latter description and felt like a mini-series may be in order to commemorate these unsung bastions of geographic brevity. In and of themselves there is nothing particularly remarkable about these paths, yet there is something in their simplicity that warrants a hint of recognition.

This one technically rises above the status of a pint-sized path when its connection with the rest of the nearby Hendrix Preserve is factored in. However, this separate short segment of planked petiteness does still capture the spirit.
The signage here indicates this serves as the ‘forebay’ of the waters that eventually make their way through the preserve. Be sure to take a moment to learn a bit about the ecological processes going on through here and enjoy the beauty of the area.
You are looking for a bison tube with some additional camo, with log only, so bring a pen and please be sure to replace the cache back as you found it or better. Please respect the area and know that you will not need to step off the boarded surface in any way to retrieve the cache.
And, if you haven’t already, while in the area I would highly recommend checking out the awesome caches in the nearby preserve. Happy Caching!
