Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage

The Razorback Regional Greenway is an extensive 37.6-mile off-road trail system primarily designed for bicyclists, but also accessible to pedestrians. The greenway runs through the heart of Northwest Arkansas and connects the cities of Fayetteville, Springdale, Lowell, Rogers, and Bentonville. It showcases the diverse urban spaces, neighborhoods, parks, shopping areas, and the verdant Ozark landscapes. The trail is predominantly paved, making it an accessible recreational resource year-round. It intersects with other local trail systems and highlights important cultural and natural landmarks, such as Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and several community parks. Completed in 2015, the greenway plays a crucial role in promoting active transportation, community health, and the local economy through outdoor tourism.
