Parking:
Because of the limited parking at Coler, we are asking that you ride to Coler if you can! If driving, please utilize the Applegate parking area as shown below. If coming from Bentonville, head west on Central and turn left after the Museum of Native American History. Follow the road south until you see a parking area to your right. The greenway is accessible from this parking area, so just jump on your bike and head north on the greenway to Coler!
Camping:
Free camping is available ALL WEEKEND in Coler MTB Preserve! Please see the below map for camping. The gates to the camping area will close at 6pm.
A huge thanks to our sponsors who make the Coler Roller possible!
