These three awesome MTB parks are within 2 hours of each other and will improve your skills! The Railyard and Coler Mountain Bike Preserve are in Arkansas and the Rockyard is located in Tulsa OK. Each park offers several lines/trails to choose from and is an excellent way to progress your mountain bike skills. Whether you are a beginner just starting out, or a seasoned advanced rider, you will have a blast sessioning the jumps. I would highly recommend all three of these parks.
Trail Details:
The Railyard is located just outside of Bentonville in Rogers AR. It features several paved beginner, intermediate and expert jump lines. There’s also a drop zone, skinnies and kids pump track, making it ideal for families. And if you prefer dirt, there is an excellent jump trail just off the park called Gravity Flow.

The North Skills Park and Coler MTB Preserve are a part of the Slaughter Pen Trails in Bentonville AR. Both spots are filled with skills areas, trails and features to session. The entire city of Bentonville is built and designed for mountain bikers of all ages and skill levels. You can easily spend a week here and still not hit everything Bentonville has to offer. We particularly enjoyed the Cease and Desist trail which leads into Drop the Hammer.

The Rockyard Bike Park in Tulsa OK, was an unexpected treat and only 2 hours away from Bentonville. It features several jump lines, including Jimi Sendrix an expert level jump trail with mandatory gaps exceeding 30+ feet. The builders did a fantastic job of building everything to trail speed making it easy to figure out. And although we did not get to explore the riding in the surrounding area, I have heard amazing things about the Turkey Mountain trail network.
