Trails in Bentonville, AR
The Greenway, the mountain bike systems, and where each one starts.
Razorback Regional Greenway
Paved greenway · Bentonville
A 40-mile paved trail that links seven Northwest Arkansas cities, from Kessler Mountain Regional Park in Fayetteville to Mercy Way Bridge in Bella Vista. More than 10 miles of it run through Bentonville, past Slaughter Pen, Crystal Bridges, Compton Gardens, downtown, and the Walmart Home Office. The speed limit is 15 mph.
Slaughter Pen Trails
Mountain bike trail system · Bentonville
More than 23 miles of mountain bike trail on the north side of downtown, rated a Silver Level Ride Center by the International Mountain Bicycling Association. The trails run from easy to extremely difficult, and there is a free-ride area with table-top jumps, bermed turns, and a wall ride. The paved Razorback Greenway runs through all three phases, so you can ride in from Compton Gardens and the square.
Coler Mountain Bike Preserve
Mountain bike preserve · Bentonville
A free, 300-acre preserve west of downtown with more than 20 miles of professionally built trail. The Westside is for beginner and intermediate riders, and the Eastside is for more experienced riders, with downhill runs that start at The Hub. The paved Applegate Trail runs through it to downtown. There are no bike rentals on site.
