    Not sure how long you have in the area, but if you get a chance to get over to Eureka Springs area, it has a ton of attractions as well.
    Really the entire Northwest area, starting all the way back at Russellville on Interstate 40 heading West to I49 North as it is called now, the entire area has enough to keep you busy for a few weeks to a month, depending on how fast you tour things.
    I lived in Arkansas for 10 years and traveled the state rather extensively, it has a lot to offer, but it has a lot of problems too...

It was a beautiful day so we explored the grounds. What a treat. The problem we have found is finding a campground. Looks like you found an option.

After watching this vid, we are now planning to take our Roadtrek and Rad Power Bikes up there, so thanx for the perfect motivation! BTW, since we lived in Kansas before moving here, I can tell you that the only time you are allowed to use the pronunciation of Kansas while saying “Ar-Kin-Saw” is when referring to someone who lives in the Natural State. Then you say we are “Ar-Kansans”! I had to be careful when referring to river after moving here from Wichita, because I was used to enjoying time around the Ar-Kansas river, and you can’t call it that here!😂

    My girlfriend (an abject Beginner at MTBing) and I have been to Bentonville 3 times in the last year (most recently for a 2 week stay over X-mas & NYE). If anyone reading this is headed to Bentonville to give MTBing their 1st try, here's a list of trail suggestions to try (in progressive order)
    1. Wolf trail - super easy figure 8 single track. Small roller/jumps, berms and raised wood features. A great place to begin!
    2. Mama Bear - an easy 85% paved pump track that is long enough to fend off boredom.
    3. Mercy Hospital pump track trail - a lot like Mama Bear but not paved. Also has a short single track trail from the same trailhead but may be too much for a true beginner.
    4. Runway bike park - a Real pump track and skills course. This is a Great place to improve MTBing skills and really assess where your skill level is.
    5. Lake Fayetteville - take those freshly honed skills to a nice relatively flat single track trail! About a 5 mile long loop around the lake.
    6. All American - you should be ready to actually enjoy this ubiquitous trail now!
    7. Family flow - time to "session" a trail. It's an easy loop back to the top.
    8. Leopards loop - like Family flow but paved, faster and with some steep dips.
    9. Tango Whiskey - if Leopards loop didn't put the fear of God in ya, it may be time for Tango Whiskey. It's just a bit faster than Leopards loop and all dirt. Nothing that can't be rolled and it's also an easy loop back to the top for sessioning.
    10. Fire line - time to ride a Big Boy trail. Fire line will not disappoint. Fast and long big sweepers and easy jumps (rollable). Be prepared for a long slog back to the top (hint - rent an Ebike!)
