Bentonville trails!    Trails, trails, trails, they are everywhere and waiting for you to walk, run, skate, longboard, wheelchair or whatever. There’s no excuse to sit in the house when all of this fresh air, nature and fun await you.

The Bella Vista and Bentonville mountain bike trails are the most famous and attract cyclists from all over the world to test their skills.

However, there are many additional types of trails available.  These popular trails include many miles of multi-use trails (paved, walking, hiking, multi-use) in and around Bentonville and Bella Vista, and many can be accessed from within the city limits.

No matter what shape you body is in, you can experience one of these trails to see what all the buzz is about:

Crystal Bridges Trails and Grounds
Bentonville, AR

Located on Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art’s 120-acre property. These awesome trails boast several beautiful shaded multi-use trails. You’ll be spellbound by the natural beauty of the trails, and you’ll be awe-struck by the stunning sculpture gardens all along the trails including an overlook to Crystal Bridges. One trail takes you to Crystal Springs, the spring that inspired the name of the museum. You would be wise to explore these trails at a leisurely pace, rather than a determined run through.

Razorback Regional Greenway Trail System
With the addition of the Blowing Springs Greenway section, which connects Metfield Park in Bella Vista to the existing 36-mile Razorback Regional Greenway trail system at Blowing Springs Park, this is now a 46-mile paved and mostly off-road shared use biking, hiking and pedestrian trail that links the cities of Bella Vista, Bentonville, Rogers, Lowell, Springdale and Fayetteville.

From the trail, you’ll find easy access to restaurants, parks, historical sites, art, entertainment venues, breweries and sights peculiar to each town.

Notice along the way a variety of lakes, creeks and the stunning natural beauty of the area. Razorback Greenway Trail System is the heart of the total multi-use trail system in Northwest Arkansas.

If you’re in Bentonville, at 21c Museum Hotel, take the trail to Bella Vista, which will go through the breathtaking Compton Gardens and Crystal Bridges trails.  Image at top of the page is of Razorback Greenway.  Photo courtesy of Arkansas Tourism.
