E-Bikes Allowed

This is an easy 5-mile loop near Downtown Bentonville, Arkansas. It has a little of everything.

None of the trails on this loop are one direction. You can follow this loop as designed or in reverse. If you go in reverse Tristan's Trail will be more of an uphill climb.

Start out on Black Apple Creek, which is a great scenic beginner trail that is perfect for families. From there hit Burns Arboretum, a scenic trail that crosses the creek (perfect on a hot day). Next, you'll continue on Leopards Loop. The downhill portion is paved with some fun berms. The uphill portion is singletrack with a skinnie that is optional.

From there, jump on Tristan Trail, a flowy downhill that connects you to the north end of Slaughter Pen and to All American, agreen trail that is great for families and new riders. Finish up your ride on Razorback Greenway. This is a paved trail that connects all of Slaughter Pen and takes you back to the start.
