Shinall Mountain is the highest natural point in Pulaski County, Arkansas and home to a number of broadcast towers whose navigational lights can be seen for miles. It is located in the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains on the edge of Little Rock, the capital and most populous city of Arkansas.

Etymology

"Shinall" is often misspelled "Chenal", though the two words are pronounced the same. "Shinall" is a corruption of the French name "Chenault", a family that settled near the base of Shinall Mountain before the American Civil War.[2] "Chenal" is the name used for Chenal Valley, a 4,800-acre upscale planned community in west Little Rock—which is adjacent to Shinall Mountain, and Chenal Parkway, a mostly divided four-lane thoroughfare (that actually scales Shinall Mountain) connecting Highways 10 and 300 to Little Rock's Financial Centre District. The Deltic Timber Corporation, who develops and manages Chenal Valley, chose the name as a foreign branding strategy.

Geography

Shinall Mountain is located approximately 3 miles south of Pinnacle Mountain. Because Pinnacle Mountain is steeper, it appears higher than Shinall Mountain, despite it actually being 55 feet lower.[1] According to the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), Shinall Mountain is a summit.[3]
