Coler Mountain Bike Preserve

Beautiful Trails and Fun for Everyone! Coler Mountain Bike Preserve is such an amazing spot for both adventure and relaxation! The paved trails are perfect for walkers and runners to enjoy the scenery, cross over charming bridges, and even visit the peaceful Firefly Garden. For mountain bikers, there are tons of trail options for all levels — from easy rides to challenging routes — making it great for all ages and skill levels. It’s a place where everyone can enjoy the outdoors, whether you’re riding, running, or just soaking up nature.

Coler Mountain is a nice preserve for hiking. Although I don't cycle, I do enjoy exploring the scenic hiking trails. One downside of Coler is that some areas of the trail were swarming with mosquitoes, while others were not as bad. We chose a rocky trail that featured many twists and turns, with lots of rocks. Our total hiking distance was 1.5 miles, which was just to get some coffee. The experience was priceless! We hiked from our vehicle to the Airship coffee shop, which is about half a mile away, to grab a cup of coffee and a smoothie. On the way, we encountered the Rise, which consists of 185 steps; we took the stairs down and the coffee shop wasn't too far out. It was a lovely late afternoon hike and coffee time with my husband.

Absolute trash! I’ve ridden mtb since the 80’s, in 48 states and 3 countries. Bentonville is not worthy of the “mountain bike capital” title. Moab is the mountain bike capital of the USA, Bentonville wouldn’t make the list of actual mtb communities. Everything is so far away you have to drive everywhere and theres always a ton of traffic for some reason. Hikers are always in the way and think they own it. If you travel and ride, I’d only go if it was on the way. Not worth a special trip and no camping near town unless you live in a tent or van, then they have a campground for you. In the middle of a stuck up city with small hills full of ticks, sharp rocks, enclosed in oak trees and full of man made features not meant for mountain biking. The actual mountain bike trails were all over grown and haven’t been maintained in years. Absolute dump.

One of the most beautiful areas in Bentonville. The creeks, the majestic trees, the mountain bike trails and the greenway combine to make Coler magical. The private or group lessons with the mountain bike coaches are some of the most comprehensive and confidence building experiences! Whether a resident of NWA or a guest, Coler Mountain Bike Preserve is a beautiful, safe space that will soon become one of your favorites, too.

This is a great and fun mtb area with lots of trails for every single skill level. I'm not the best mt biker out there and I was still able to have fun on cease & desist and thunderdome. I have thought about going up to the castle but have not done so yet. This place is up in my top three with slaughter pen and the rail yard. Lots of nature and wildlife. Will definitely come back someday.

By far the best park we got to bike in this far. I'm still saying this with much reservation because this was the only park we got to explore during our 1 night stay in Bentonville. We are already planning for at least a week there and also as soon as possible. Arkansas is a beautiful state and Bentonville truly blew my mind. Everything seemed so well and organically planned around a great biking experience. This started with dedicated bike lanes, great signage and respectful motor vehicles who safely shared the road with us. I can't wait to take those ideas back with me to Texas and put multiple bugs in the ears of our city council. Great job. Can't wait to return.

Great trails, great infrastructure, great coffee afterwards. Went there to ride mountain bikes and used the blue trails, and green trails to get between the blues. I've heard that it gets really busy, but it was just "normal busy" the last time I was there. Trails are well maintained and everyone was really considerate in their riding etiquette. There were plenty of people walking on the paved trails, if that's your thing. There's a open air place on the trailside to get good coffee drinks and a snack.

Excellent trails. Well maintained. Variety of different terrain. What an awesome place!!
