I love this trail and I ride it every chance I get, it has so many access points you can get on at several different trail heads, and it’s so versatile in trail conditions, most of it is paved, then you do some road riding on one stretch, you can go off road a little on one part of it as well.
DO NOT start in Bella Vista! The trail is closed soon after starting at the trail head, due to a bridge being out. After turning around and riding next to a really busy road we got back on the trail again only to find another closure near the Crystal Bridges. Again, we had to turn around, go out to the road and push bikes up the sidewalk next to the road. We ended up in bentonville and decided to quit for the day. Our next ride was from Lowell to Fayetteville, no closures at all, but it was a difficult ride for 70 year olds due to the numerous hills made harder when really hot. It was a gorgeous trail but I was not aware of the closures and also the hills.
I have ridden the trail on three different days on my handicap scooter. It allows me the opportunity to see the wonderful sights of northwest Arkansas and meet some wonderful people along the way.
I live in Washington Missouri with a daughter living in Cassville Missouri while employed in Bentonville. I now travel as often as possible to the trail. It has put motivation back in my life while suffering from cancer. My infusion treatments are the only thing that alters my travel to the trail.
I am 86 years of age with 100% disability as a veteran. All this to say the trail and the people are a blessing beyond compare. Thank you Arkansas for blessing this old mans life.
Rode from downtown Little Rock from the Marriott to the bridge over the Arkansas River by the Clinton Presidential Library and then all the way west on the north side of the river out to the Big Dam Bridge and then back across the river and continued west to the end of Two Rivers park. The trail is basically flat except for the bridges, wide and paved. Once you get two or so miles west of Clinton Bridge, The trail is basically a mixture of park spaces and greenway along the River. It’s beautiful. We rode on a weekday. I imagine on the weekend it may be more crowded. We were told to Stay away from the south river stretch because of construction and the fact that it isn’t as scenic.
My husband I and I use this trail often. It goes through wooded areas, along Gun Creek, through fields and park areas. Pretty level all along the way. We use it to get to neighborhoods where we can extend our ride. Well maintained throughout! Excellent trail for biking or walking!
From the college to Hoxie you will come to a updated park with new playground equipment and three bathrooms They are nice if someone would keep them clean so that was a disappointment that it was nasty and not kept up But they are brand new so maybe that’s just a one off and they will have somebody from parks and recreation to clean them soon
My wife and I rode a few miles in November 2023 and enjoyed the lush fall foliage. The trail itself is paved with some elevation - nothing very intense. Lots of places to stop and rest or take in the beautiful scenery.
This trail needs some attention and some signage. Trail surface changes from concrete to asphalt to gravel/grass.
Trail had some cracks and stones. It didn’t make in-line skating too difficult, just had to be cautious. Scenery was nice and trail was short. My dogs loved it. Would be a great trail for kids
Great trail. Connects several neighborhoods. Easy walk or ride with plentiful wildlife.
