The 1.5-mile Fitness Course walking path in Ben Geren Park in Fort Smith is an enjoyable way to get some exercise outside.
The trail has almost no elevation change and has a shale rock surface. It is a pretty easy walk.
While not a wooded area, there are a number of trees along the trail that were planted about 10 years ago. Quite a few of them have reached a considerable height making the trail more scenic and enjoyable, particularly in the summer.
There are a variety of “fitness stations” (e.g., parallel bars) along the path to help you stay in shape.
The park is owned and operated by Sebastian County.
These photos are all from my November 10, 2019 walk.
