Trails
Miles
Slaughter Pen
Slaughter Pen trails in Bentonville are a unique mountain-biking experience, featuring 40-plus miles of single-track flowing alongside the paved Razorback Greenway and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Learn more, download a map and watch videos on the Slaughter Pen page.
Coler
Coler Mountain Bike Preserve is built on land designated as a mountain bike preserve about a mile west of downtown Bentonville. Although you might think you are in the backcountry of the Ozarks while riding Coler, the trails are actually located about two miles west of downtown Bentonville. The trails feature multiple flowy jump lines, challenging technical rocky sections and several huge gap jumps.
Lake Leatherwood
The steep and ledgy hillsides of Lake Leatherwood trails make the Eureka Springs park ripe for downhill-only trails. There are seven of them, each about a mile long. For a fee, which goes to maintaining the trails, a shuttle sprints riders and their bikes up the mountain to two stone platforms that serve as the launching pads for each descent. There are smooth, flowing trails for beginners, technical rocky downhills for intermediate riders, and massive jumps and drops for the experts, including the so-called “lily pad.”
Back 40/Wonderland
The Back 40 trail system weaves its way up and down the ridges and valleys that undulate across the east side of Bella Vista, so you’re in for grinding climbs that alternate with fast, swooping descents.
The 25-mile Back 40 Loop encircles the east side of Bella Vista, with additional miles of trails crisscrossing the interior. To the south of Back 40 is the Wonderland zone, which includes five miles of feature-rich trails, highlighted by "Cousin Eddy's RV." Parking at the Lake Ann Trailhead will put you in the epicenter, but there are several other access points. Mile Zero begins at the back part of Blowing Springs.
