Coler Mountain Biking Preserve is a major mountain biking destination in Bentonville, but it’s also a great place to bird, with pleasant walking trails through great bird habitat and even a coffee shop inside. Join Northwest Arkansas Audubon Society on the morning of May 2, 2026 at 8:00 AM for a birding outing at Coler, led my Bentonville local birder Adam Schaffer. This is peak migration, so we’ll be on the lookout for all the dazzling warblers, tanagers, vireos, and other migrant birds that can be seen at this time of year. Meet at the Coler Grove Parking lot on the South side of the preserve (GPS 36.37681, -94.23983). Expect to walk 2 miles over 2-3 hours on paved trails shared by pedestrians and bikers. The first section is steep getting down to the main trail, then relatively flat for the remainder of the walk. We’ll head North until we reach Airship Coffee where we’ll pause for an optional refreshment and restroom before turning back.
