I came here to take my dog for a walk while my husband goes mountain biking. I travel and hike across the United States, and I've rarely come across many pretentious individuals. Sorry, everyone, but you're still in Arkansas 🙄😂. Please leave your ego at home; no one needs it outside your door. Aside from the rude people, we had a great time on our walk, even though it was crowded.

One of the best family friendly bike parks in NWA! There’s a paved trail that traverses the park north to south, as well as all grades of mountain bike trails. Airship Coffee has an onsite cafe and there are creeks for dipping hot feet in.

Large area with a trail for everyone. I could spend all day riding family flow, thunder dome, and fire line. I mean if I had an e-mtb because those climbs back up get brutal after a few times riding analog.

This is an awesome place for biking! You can ride your road bike or your mountain bike. You can choose your level of activity and expertise. There’s fun games for the whole family when it comes to riding bikes here! Great place to hike as well. A hidden spot is halfway down the trail where there’s a great coffee shop.

Coler meets everyone's needs with paved and nature trails. If you park at The Grove note that it's a downhill paved walk (there's also nature trails you can take) towards the main trail. Please keep this in mind, especially for any mamma's pushing a stroller. I'm always out of breath when I make it to the car! The paved trail is wide for two lanes. Everyone I've encountered has been courteous and friendly. It's also dog friendly and there's multiple areas with doggie bags and trash cans. There are water fountains close to the restrooms, which are kept clean and stocked. There's also baby changing tables inside the women's, not sure about the men's. Climb the stairs if you're up for it!
