Bentonville Portion Hack…read more When heading south on the trail, if you are too tied to climb the elevation at the Crystal Bridges Art Museum. Take the trail to the North Lawn Entrance. During business hours, you can take your bike by elevator to the N. Forest Trail. This trail will come out near the additional parking and can continue out to J Street. It is then a nice easy flat ride over on 2nd to downtown or on out J to Bike Rack Brewing and the main trail.

I love the razorback greenway trail! It goes from Bella Vista to Fayetteville. I've rode my bike on…read moreall parts of the trail with my longest stretch from Bentonville to Fayetteville (it was a great 30+ mile ride and I'm not sure my butt wants to do it again hahahaha). It's a beautiful trail. I mostly frequent the Bentonville and rogers part of the trail with riding my bike and walking. For bikes there are many stops along the trail with a bike "tune up" station. I've used it to pump up my tires with their air pump. The station is free to use. There are also some water fountains and seats as well. There are numerous stops to make along the entire trail for shopping, restaurants, museums, etc. You can find the trail map online so you can plan your route! There are also many convenient parking lots to park and hop on the trail. I love how this area is so bike/hike/walk friendly with all the beautiful trails.

Took the family here on a nice Saturday afternoon to check things out. First impression was that…read morethe reservoir "lake" was a bit on the dirty/scummy side, but as we started walking the paved path it got better. We saw a lot of turtles swimming or sun bathing and the kids loved that! The path itself was nice and everyone walking or biking seemed friendly and things were cleaner than my initial impression. I wouldn't swim in this lake, but there were people fishing and that seemed fun and it was a lovely 2 mile easy walk. It felt safe, too. Good for families and pretty views!!

Very nice large lake and recreation area in Rogers. There was a lot of parking and lots to do! They…read moreseem to host events here often and there were a lot of people set up in the grass under canopys and tents. They had a few walking bridges and a nice section by the parking lot with splash areas. The lake was much larger than I thought and had a large paved trail around it all. It was 1.8 miles total with some sections in the direct sun and some uphill so be prepared. There were a few benches and stops to rest on the trail but the only bathrooms were in the front. There were a lot of of people fishing and many concrete docks to walk out on which I thought was a great feature. I did see a lot of garbage in the water and ground and not enough trash cans for sure. Also a lot of goose poop but I guess that happens. We saw many birds, turtles, and fish which my kids liked a lot! I do recommend checking this nice lake out for fishing, nature exploring, or a nice walk.

The park is amazing, but it will need some serious upkeep to open up some trails…read more As we walked towards Crystal Bridges most of the trails were cleared, but the beauty of the trails were interrupted by the recent storm. They'll need to pick up and clear the fallen trees and debris. The trails were mostly cleared for walking, and the trail bikers didn't find any problems making their rounds, but it just wasn't its prettiest. I'm confident the City of Bentonville will get to it. It's a beautiful park with plenty of potential to get back to it's typical beauty.

BEAUTIFUL is the the one word to describe the Scenery here…read more I give this place only ONE STAR due to the people (Bicyclist) you may encounter here. Which can completely ruin your walk/hike. Most of the bicyclist are respectful. But over the last two years we've seen some real JERKS disrespect people walking through. This past Saturday was our first encounter with one of those Jerks. Pedestrians and bikers must share some of the same trails and bikers have signs that they they must yield to people walking and even notify when they are going to pass you so you're not ran over or hit by a bike. We've seen quite a few confrontations between pedestrians and bicyclist. My son and my 7 yr old niece were walking back from the bathroom as a family of 4 were walking the opposite direction were about to meet when this Moron tried to pass between them before the gap closed and hit and knock down my niece. He didn't have the patience to wait for the families to cross each other so he would have a clear path around after knocking her down he slowed down without stopping and look back and yelled "is she okay?" but didn't stop, just kept going. But then... As the JERK lay there on the ground with a bruised face, and two flat tires. I also didn't feel any concern or sympathy for him. But I still asked him if he was okay. I gave he a short lecture on karma and we left the park. Now remember not all bicyclists are that way. A lot of them are respectful and will wait or even let you know if they are ready to pass. But there are still those dumb few that don't care at all.

Natural Falls State Park is located in West Siloam Springs, Oklahoma, 6 miles from the border with…read moreArkansas. If you're coming to Natural Falls for barbecuing, picnicking, short hiking, lounging around and camping...then this park is for you. I was scrolling through Google Maps and discovered a photo that looked intriguing. It was a picture of a 77 foot plunging waterfall among a scenic backdrop known as Ozark Springs. This Ozark Springs waterfall is the #1 top highlight at the park. The rest of the activities (I believe) are side compliments. So...if you're passing through West Siloam Springs, it could be worthwhile to check out Ozark Springs, and it doesn't take long to do. The trails map says 45 minutes, but it can be finished in less. The walk to the falls is half a mile at the most. You can find Ozark Springs along the Dripping Springs Trail. There are two parts to capturing views. First is from an overlook point high above. After completing this lookout spot, then it's 47 steps down to the bottom. The base of Ozark Falls has a boardwalk pathway leading you in front of the waterfall. I was tempted to step off the boardwalk to avoid the hand railing when taking pictures, but that wasn't not allowed. Also unfortunately, they don't permit swimming in the pool that Ozark Falls splashes into. But the waters appeared refreshing. You can connect Dripping Springs Trail with Ghost Coon Trail to combine two hikes in one. Or otherwise you can return to the Dripping Springs Trailhead and either choose another pathway or hang out, have lunch and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. There are a few other trails you can consider, but they're nothing dramatic. - Fox Den Trail - 1.5 miles to a "rock overhang and cavern area". - Bear Trail - hardly a hike but leads to Ozark Springs and intersects with Dripping Springs Trail. - Pine Ridge Trail - 3/4th's of a mile that navigates the perimeter of Natural Falls Park. It's $10 entrance fee for a day pass. You can pay at the Visitor Center. Plus inside the VC, you can purchase souvenirs from a small selection of items or buy snacks and drinks if you haven't arrived prepared. I noticed they have a lot of space for camping. Although I didn't spend a night here, the conditions for sleeping outdoors looked inviting. Btw...while walking along Ghost Coon Trail, I passed by these Yurts, or I'd describe them as huts accommodative for "glamping" or glorified camping. It's like upscale camping staying in tent - cabins. There may have been 5 - 6 yurts located beside the grass edge of the forest and pleasant looking for enjoying the great outdoors. Overall, Natural Falls State Park has a quiet setting and is fine for taking a few hours to breathe in fresh air, especially if you're in no hurry. Although I wanted more challenging hiking trails and activities to keep me occupied, I was okay with taking a lazy day to appreciate nature.

This was our second year of camping at Coler over winter break. We love the access to the trails,…read morethe small size of the campground, the secure feeling of the gated sites, and the bath house! Since this is the off season, it hasn't been very crowded either of our visits. Ben, the host, checks in with everyone at some point of their stay. We felt supported. Folks generally respect quiet hours (10-7) so we've always gotten good sleep! I like how the lights go off at 10 as well. It's quite dark so you can really appreciate the stars on a clear night. We stay in a camper van spot, with a SUV camper setup. With our smaller vehicle size, there is room for our vehicle as well as our tarp/kitchen setup behind the car. Each spot comes with leveling blocks, which are necessary since the spots all slope slightly. I assume this keeps them from gathering water. The sites also have a small wooden table and a bike stand attachment on the backside. Lastly, each can spot has a solo stove for a small campfire at each site. Since we have only stayed in the winter, the bike wash and dish wash stations were closed. As was the outdoor shower. The bathrooms were impeccably clean and warm. There are plenty of outlets to charge your devices or batteries. This is helpful since the sites don't have power. This site doesn't allow pets, which does help keep things clean and quiet. You can get your fix of other people's dogs on the paved trail though. Also, just down the trail is the Airship Coffee at Coler. It's open 7-5:30 - so hit coffee, pastries, or a beer are just a short stroll or roll away!

Beautiful and well maintained walking, hiking and biking paths. We woke up early and hit the trails…read moreon Friday morning around 9:30 and while there were other people out and about, it was by no means crowded. We walked the paved trail to airship coffee, did The Rise steps and then hiked back on one of the trails. A pretty wonderful way to spend a beautiful fall morning.
