Love it!!

Spring Creek Trail (AR)

is the map incorrect?

October, 2024 by 8db9s65kxc

I recently rode from the JB and Johnelle Hunt Family Ozark Highlands Nature Center to Fayetteville. I thought the section from the nature center to Springdale lake was the “Spring Creek Trail”. I think the map shown here from Lake Springdale to Maple avenue was part of the razorback trail. I’m not a local though so I could be wrong.

Razorback Greenway

top trail for biking!

October, 2024 by wbbs29

We started in Bentonville and rode to Fayetteville in three hours. No construction or detours. It is a well maintained trail with beautiful views! It has challenging hills and some street riding but we felt safe the entire ride. Car drivers were very considerate. There are many of places to stop to eat or rest along the way. The trail is well marked with signs.

Razorback Greenway

Fun trail in the Fayetteville/Bentonville area

September, 2024 by cizawood

We rode this trail for a couple of days, just the Razorback, but you could connect to the entire areas regional trails that intersect throughout the trail and make it a few day ride if you're in the area. Our two day total was 67 miles.

There was a lot of construction going on throughout the trail and some of it is not well marked on the detours.

Hills, lakes, parks, benches, along river beds, as well as paths dedicated on city streets. Overall a nice trail. Lots of weekend riders, families, strollers, etc. Fun urban riding. Any bike will do as the trails are concrete and asphalt mostly with some dirt tracks. Lots of amenities, shade and fun.

Hamestring Creek Trail

It’s pretty, but super short.

Razorback Greenway

Wonderful trail

July, 2024 by xgqrms2jbn

I rode this trail in April 2024. I highly recommend this fantastic trail. They certainly did a fine job of connecting all the regional trails. I rode it in sections over four days. This is a world class trail!

Razorback Greenway

start south of bentonville

July, 2024 by spoletti

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.

Razorback Greenway

Retired minister

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.

Clabber Creek Trail

Great Trail

July, 2023 by skinkade2002

Great trail. Connects several neighborhoods. Easy walk or ride with plentiful wildlife.

Razorback Greenway

App needs to reflect detours & closures

June, 2023 by tjm649397

I started walking this trail in sections on April 16 in south Fayetteville and finished in Bella Vista on June 5. Other than various detours and closures which I wish were reflected on the map in this app, I thoroughly enjoyed the scenery along the trail. Now that I’ve finished walking the trail from south to north, I’m going to plan on biking it from north to south when my bike is fixed. It was nice to see how many families were biking together. ¿

Greg Smith River Trail

A place to practice your spin.

May, 2023 by tim.billings1

Nice, fairly flat trail along the levee built to contain the Arkansas River when it gets too high. Lots of room to practice moving those feet in circles when riding your bike. The official length says 4.7 miles but if you go end to end it's a little over 6...about 6.2. One caution. As of 5/21/23 there are no functional bathrooms available on this trail. On one end they were all locked, on the other all were destroyed and non-working or locked. Overall, a nice trail but plan ahead.

Tsa La Gi Trail

Helps Loop Back to Town Branch

May, 2023 by tim.billings1

Not a trail to ride if you're trying for high average speed. It crosses lots of roads, parking lots, and driveways. But, it is an excellent way to turn the Town Branch Trail into a loop instead of an out and back.
