Almost every visit to NWA includes a mountain biking day in Coler. The trails are impeccably maintained, there’s coffee/food available at the Airship, and there’s always something new to check out.

The trails are incredibly well-designed, offering options for all skill levels. My family and I loved the variety of trails. Even if you’re not into biking, the greenway that goes through the park and scenic spots are amazing. The Hub is a highlight—watching riders take on the jumps is so fun, and the coffee shop nearby is the perfect spot to recharge. We also enjoyed relaxing at the Creekside area, where you can hammock, picnic, or just soak up the serene vibe. Coler is more than just a mountain biking destination; it’s a community space that brings people together in nature. We’re already planning our next visit! I'd love to go back to stay at the campgrounds next time!
