We're thrilled to announce that Bentonville has earned a coveted spot in Outside Magazine's prestigious 2025 Travel Awards. Featured among "The 50 Best Adventures in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada," our mountain biking scene earned special recognition, with the magazine acknowledging our status as the mountain-biking capital of the world. The feature celebrates our impressive Oz Trails network with its 550-plus miles of singletrack created through our successful public-private partnerships. Outside specifically mentions the diverse riding options available here, from the flowy Little Sugar system to technical downhill sections at Coler Mountain Bike Preserve, and notes how visitors can easily access the Slaughter Pen trails from downtown accommodations to enjoy 40 miles of art-filled paths. This recognition further establishes Bentonville as an essential destination for adventure travelers and outdoor enthusiasts across North America.
