Any Arkansan will gladly share their favorite lake, hike, mountain bluff or even cave, but some folks may stumble when asked for their favorite island. We’re not really known for our island adventures. However! One of the best views in Arkansas is hiding on a mountain that can only be reached by boat. Let’s board the ferry and take a hike to see this spectacularly scenic gem.
Sugar Loaf Mountain is an island located on Greers Ferry Lake near Fairfield Bay.
If you're needing a lift, the Fairfield Bay Marina runs a shuttle service to the island from Tue-Sat. It's $11.95 for adults.

If you're directionally challenged, not to worry. There's a map of the trail as soon as you reach the bank.

The trail was built by employees of the Greers Ferry Project Office of the Corps of Engineers’ Little Rock District.
The whole mountain is the result of erosion and weathering over millions of years. Pedimentation, an erosional process, caused the vertical walls and flat rock surfaces you'll come across on our hike.
