| City of Shirley Train Bridge |
 An old Missouri & North Arkansas Railroad bridge remains in Shirley, Arkansas, abandoned by M&NA in the 1940s. It's very narrow, but road crews have put down a layer of concrete on the bridge, so it's easy to drive on. The bridge crosses the Little Red River..
Shirley is located about 100 miles north of Little Rock in the Ozark Mountains. It has a population of 337 and is known for growing mushrooms.

| Greers Ferry Lake |
 The Greers Ferry Lake and Little Red river area of Arkansas offers exceptional opportunities to explore the great out-of-doors. Whether your tastes run to fishing, boating and other fun on the water or golfing, hiking, biking and hunting, this is a place where you can do it all. Our playground
extends from the Ozark foothills to the edge of the delta.  Here, you can cast for bass or trout one day and hit the duck blinds the next. In season, of course. This is one of the few places in the country where it’s possible to fish for largemouth bass, white bass hybrids, walleye and trout all in the same day. Yes, that’s pushing it, but it is possible for the adventurous and energetic angler.
 But, there’s no rush. Take it easy. Relax and fish to your heart’s content. You might even land a trophy if you fish long enough. After all, Greers Ferry Lake still holds the world record for walleye and hybrid striper. And that big old German brown trout caught on the Little Red River held the record for nearly twenty years.
Splash and swim in sun-kissed Greers Ferry Lake. There’s lots of room to ski and make waves. Boaters, sail boaters, water-skiers, house boaters, scuba divers and the party barge folks all get along because they seldom cross paths in this 40,000-acre expanse of sparkling clear water. And, all around the lake are resorts, bed-and-breakfast inns, marinas, shopping and woodsy green spaces for camping and hiking.
