What is the OZ Trails Bike Park in Northwest Arkansas? Here’s everything you need to know.
Northwest Arkansas just raised the bar for mountain biking — and the OZ Trails Bike Park is the reason why.
Opening June 12, 2026, coinciding with Bentonville Bike Fest 2026, the OZ Trails Bike Park is Arkansas’s first chairlift-served mountain bike park. Located right on the Bentonville-Bella Vista border at Highway 71 and Mercy Way, with easy access from Interstate 49, this is a game changer for the region.
What to Expect at OZ Trails Bike Park
For the first time in Arkansas history, riders can load a chairlift and drop into world-class gravity trails in the Ozarks. The park features more than 20 miles of purpose-built gravity trails for all skill levels — signed like ski runs with green, blue, black, and double black designations — so whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned downhiller, there’s a trail for you.
The Chairlift
The park is equipped with a state-of-the-art Poma-Leitner high-speed quad chairlift, running along approximately 2,500 feet with around 300 feet of vertical elevation. Less pedaling up, more riding down. And it’s not just for cyclists — anyone can ride the lift to enjoy the views, grab a drink at the top, or attend events on the property.
Amenities
The OZ Trails HQ serves as the social hub of the park. Amenities include a full-service restaurant and lounge, a full bike shop and rental center, a community plaza, a purpose-built pump track, a dedicated hiking trail and art walk with large-scale art installations throughout the property, and event space. Food, coffee, and beer options will be available on site, managed by Runway’s Ropeswing Hospitality Group.
Who Is It For
Everyone. The park is designed as a cultural hub, not just a cycling destination. Riders, hikers, families, and casual visitors are all welcome. The lift, the restaurant, the plaza, and the art walk make it a destination even if you never get on a bike.
Connectivity
The park connects seamlessly into the existing OZ Trails network — 550 miles of shared-use trails across Northwest Arkansas — including direct access to Little Sugar and the broader regional trail system.
