Little Rock Must See City Park - "The Old Mill" at T.R. Pugh Memorial Park

[QuestionMark]

On our drive back home to SE Texas after picking up our Ollie, we stayed at the COE Maumelle Park (Highly recommend).   After unhooking the trailer, we made a short drive of about 10 min. to the TR Pugh Memorial Park located within Little Rock.   I thought I would share the photos as it was a wonderful place to see and highly recommend you visit if you find yourself in the Little Rock Area.

Question Mark,  Greetings from Hull#665.

Nice pics, makes us want to add that to our southern route this spring.

Great photos, and that's a beautiful little spot.  Thanks

Thank you for posting this. I'm trying to plan our route home to Texas from pick up. This looks like a beautiful place to stop.

Looks like a location to put on our list!  Thanks for sharing.  Mike

Looks like you had the place all to yourself.  A great place to take family photos as well.

LOL, I just noticed, they dye the pond blue and aerate it, I guess they want it to look prettier than the scummy brown creek feeding it.

The blue is probably copper sulfate to control algae.

Oh yes, algae, I remember that stuff, and swamps, and humidity, and brown slow moving rivers. All that “back East” stuff. 

I was kidding mostly, I love Corps of Engineer projects, they have beautiful campgrounds along many waterways here in the PNW, like along the Columbia River. They are nicely manicured, green (even in desert locations), well maintained and inexpensive, especially with a half-off Geezer Pass. Unfortunately most are still closed due to Covid.

I agree COE projects have beautiful campgrounds. When we are not boondocking our first choice is a COE campground.
