Located along the River Road which follows the south side of the Arkansas River, the American Discovery Trail (ADT) passes close to the towns of Coolidge, Syracuse, and Kendall. The roadbed is well maintained and traffic is light making the ADT an excellent bike/hike trail and offers good chances of seeing numerous species of wildlife.
The ADT will be the first coast-to-coast hiking/biking trail connecting hiking trails in 13 states and the District of Columbia.
