Slaughter Pen Trail

It's like a mountain biking dream come true. What a wonderful experience. Never-ending variety of trails and skill levels

Absolutely gorgeous place! Lots of trails and artwork along the way.

What a fun trail system!!! We like to park right behind Wrights BBQ 🍖 and go into trail from there. You can ride down to Crystal Bridges and ride under a huge steel spider that is super cool.

We ride for a while then make our way back to downtown Bentonville where there is an endless supply of amazing patio restaurants to have an adult refresher after the trails.

We absolutely love this town and highly recommend it if you like to have fun and be outside.

Come enjoy this wonderful little town. It has big town amenities with a small town vibe.

Such an amazing spot for beginners and experts alike! Well groomed trails, clean and a blast for the whole family!

Mountain bike heaven. It has all different trails for all different type riders. This place is no doubt one of the best in the region.

Awesome experience. As challenging as you make it with family friendly options.

Crazy amount of fun trails. The greens are even remarkably fun. Great to see so many families, and riders of all ages and abilities enjoying mountain biking.

Beautiful, shaded trails with native plants and flowers, including a fresh water creek. Great lil place to take your pup and enjoy a good walk.

So much fun and for every level. If your just looking for a nice paved trail to ride, there is that. If you want to have a little bit of fun but are not used to trail riding, there are plenty of green level trails. If you’re an expert and ready to do big jumps and take some risks, there are plenty for you as well. Everyone is very friendly. There are also bike maintenance areas complete with tools and bike pumps. Also, plenty of restrooms as well.

We went to Bentonville first time and we loved it. They have so many trails for different skills. You can see the signs before enter basic, intermediate, pro, etc. Amazing place for mountain bikers.

This set of bike trails has a paved trail and unpaved trails that connect to it. The pave trail has both up and downward sloping segments; some of which are rather steep. However, I saw a 4-year-old on the trail doing well.

The trail has people on bikes, many of them with children, and people walking. Everyone seem to be highly respectful.

In town with nephews and we drove over to Slaughter Pen trails. Between the varying terrain, set up similar to ski runs in that you've got Green (easy) Blue (challenging), Black (Extreme), and the features, this area made for an amazing time for the whole family.
Every other rider was friendly and courteous; this felt like an amazing community to be apart of.
From Slaughter Pen we were able to cycle to /from Bentonville and grab lunch.
I cant wait to return; I dream about these trails!

Want to have some fun!! This is a good place to play on your MTB. Lots of fun flowing downhills, good climbs, great features. Pay attention to trail level ratings and be ready for some good challenges on the black trails. The jumps and drops on some are the real deal. Professionally done and a must do if you are from out of town.

So many great trails to ride or jog on, jump trails, down hill, black, blue and green trails, an beautiful built structures

This place is really good for biking there is only one trail i can think of that is overgrown and it is an abandoned trail too it would be cool if they fixed it up some and got it back to running again since it was a really fun jump line but yeah everything is really well kept this is biking center of the world fr it is absolutely amazing would recommend it’s fire 🔥

Nice place for trails,evening walks,mountain bike trails and outdoor fitness activities . Trails are available for beginners, intermediate and advanced with special features including log rides, drops, jumps and a free ride area with table top jumps, bermed turns, and a wall ride.

The Bentonville - Blowing Springs Tour is a ride featuring the Slaughter Pen trail system in Bentonville to the Blowing Springs trail system in Bella Vista.

The ride is a mix of singletrack and paved bikeways through the beautiful forests of Northwest Arkansas.

This place is AWESOME for mountain biking. There are several places I'm the U.S. that should be on your bucket list for MTB destinations. Obviously Bentonville is one of those places. Slaughter Pen is well marked and well groomed. And they really do have trails for everybody. Every kill level can have fun here.

So much fun even as a beginner. Everyone on the trails was super nice. Good proximity to the square and crystal bridges, too, is a plus.

Anyone who mountain bikes knows that Bentonville, Arkansas is the place to go to do just that and Slaughter Pen is one of the most sought after trail systems while here. The best part about it is that it is walking distance from downtown. With miles and miles of trails, be it hiking or biking, this place is an outdoor enthusiasts dream. The Walton’s have done a really great job with the trails here and it shows in how well built and maintained they are. This was our first trip and certainly not our last.
