Suit to shred – mountain biking in Northern Arkansas
Fayetteville’s first mountain bike trail and you can see why as this isn’t for the faint of heart. Technical rocky singletrack and hand-cut lines separate the pros from the joes (click to enlarge).
In the Ozark Mountains of Northwest Arkansas are 200 miles of mountain biking trails, ready for visitors to come and shred. To highlight this area, we are creating four videos to show off epic mountain bike rides in the region.
Check out the video below featuring Tyler McCaul.

The IMBA World Summit is coming to Bentonville, Arkansas in November, so our trails have been recognized by some of the best mountain bikers in the business. Our world-class trails feature five IMBA Epic Rides and the first-ever Regional Ride Center by IMBA.
Travel directions
Drive to NWA or fly into XNA (20 minute drive to Slaughterpen and Downtown Bentonville) or Tulsa (2 hour drive to Slaughterpen and Downtown Bentonville). Many lodging options are available from VRBO to hotel. For a unique, urban MTB vacation consider the 21C Museum Hotel in downtown Bentonville as a bike-friendly (actually bike-loving) hotel 2 blocks from the trailhead.
Beautiful winding loops wrap a spring-fed lake lush with the full brilliance of a pristine Ozark forest (click to enlarge).
