Benton: Sunset Lake Park Walking Path

Sunset Lake Park Walking Path, Benton, Arkansas.

The walking path at Benton’s Sunset Lake Park (Saline County) is an easy one-mile loop that circles the triangular-shaped lake. There is an isthmus, which also can be walked separating off a smaller part of the lake. 

Even though noise from the nearby interstate can be a little bit of a distraction, this is usually a very enjoyable walk.

For anglers, there is a fishing pier on the lake.

To get to Sunset Lake Park, take Fairfield Road next to the Saline County Fairgrounds down to Henry Street. It is just a few blocks from the fairgrounds.
