The Lion's Loop is open 24/7 and is a safe and ADA-accessible one-mile-long walking trail to promote outdoor activity within the UAFS and Fort Smith communities.  

The Lion's Loop is a product of the Residence Hall Association at UAFS, who worked with the student population to design the best possible route for a walking trail on campus.
