Seven Downhills, Endless Laps: A Full Day at Lake Leatherwood Gravity Park.
At Lake Leatherwood Bike Park in Eureka Springs the day is engineered around descent—seven distinct downhill trails, shuttle service to the top, and a rhythm of repeated runs that turns a single climb into a full day of laps. Runs range from roughly 10–20 minutes depending on rider ability and speed, and the shuttle compresses the climbs into a quick 5–10 minute ride so you can focus on descending.

Seven Unique Downhill Trails
Lake Leatherwood Bike Park features seven downhill trails that offer sustained descents—each run typically takes between 10 and 20 minutes depending on skill and pace.
Fast, Frequent Shuttle Service
The shuttle ride to the top is only 5 to 10 minutes, and the operation is noted for its efficiency, with pickups from the bottom approximately every 15 minutes to keep laps coming.
Maximize Descents with Back‑to‑Back Runs
Because the shuttle turnaround is short and frequent, riders can stack repeats all day—perfect for improving lines and stretching a single afternoon into dozens of descents.
