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.
Guest passes are available for purchase at the front desk of the RAWC. Guests must be at least 18 years old and be accompanied by a current RAWC member. Passes are $5 per day.
