Located about a mile west of downtown Bentonville on land designated as a mountain bike preserve. The trails have a little bit of everything. On the East side is multiple flowy jump lines and challenging technical rocky sections that culminate at “The Hub” near the top of the mountain. From there you can choose which trail to take and the level of difficulty. If you are an expert level downhill or enduro rider try the “Hammer” — a double black alternate line featuring a 12-foot drop into a valley setting you up for 10-foot step-up jumps and two more large drops. On the west side is a fun, flowy singletrack along with two new trails, “Family Flow” and “Dual Slalom”, opening soon!
