Outdoor things to do near Bentonville, Arkansas
Bentonville is a trail town first. The city's 2021 plan describes roughly 70 miles of combined trails, sidepaths, and on-road facilities, while the wider OZ Trails network adds purpose-built singletrack across Northwest Arkansas. Epicrest helps you research those rides alongside Ozark bluff hikes, greenways, and parks.
Field context
How Epicrest helps around Bentonville, Arkansas
Beautiful Mapbox maps
See places like Coler and Slaughter Pen on Outdoor, 3D Vista, Satellite, and Topo maps with trail outlines and park boundaries where data exists.

Weather, offline, and journal
With Pro, save an Outdoor region up to 50 miles for no-signal corners of the Ozarks and add detailed weather and the best window. Log the places you visit in a private outdoor journal.
Ride and roll the OZ Trails network
Bentonville is built around connected ways to ride and walk. Its 2021 Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan counted roughly 70 miles across trails, sidepaths, and on-road facilities; that total should not be read as 70 miles of singletrack. Purpose-built riding at Coler Mountain Bike Preserve and Slaughter Pen connects to the wider OZ Trails network, with flow lines, technical features, and approachable green trails close together. Use Epicrest to discover places like these on the map, review available route detail, and find trailheads and parking before you clip in.
Because trail status changes with weather, events, and maintenance, treat the in-app detail as a planning aid rather than a live trail report. Confirm current access, closures, and conditions with the official land manager or trail steward before you ride.
Hike the Ozark bluffs, valleys, and greenways
Beyond the bike park, the surrounding Ozarks open up limestone bluff lines, shaded creek valleys, and quieter walking. The Razorback Greenway ties Bentonville to neighboring towns with a paved spine you can walk or roll, while nearby parks and preserves give you shorter loops and viewpoints over the rolling terrain. Epicrest helps you map these greenways and trails, scan the weather window, and find access points and parking so a casual afternoon outside comes together quickly.
Access, permits, fees, and seasonal status differ from one park or preserve to the next and can change without notice. Verify the current details with the official park or land manager before relying on them, and carry proper navigation for anything off the paved greenway.
Read the Ozark skyline and log your days
The Ozarks around Bentonville are about ridgelines and bluffs more than tall summits, but Epicrest can still identify high points and named features on the horizon in AR when location, heading, and available data support the view. After a ride at Coler or a walk along the Greenway, keep the place in a private outdoor journal — entries and any photos stay on your iPhone with optional private iCloud sync, so your record of the trails and parks you visit around Bentonville stays yours.
