A unique joint local event will give everyone an opportunity to celebrate their love for bikes and public lands next Saturday, September 30.
The joint venture celebrates Bike Your Park Day and National Public Lands Day. The event will be held on the Lake Ouachita Vista Trail, at the Shangri-La Tompkins Bend Campgrounds, Saturday, September 30, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
