Step foot in Eureka Springs and you might feel as if you’ve stepped back in time. Winding vertical paths and streets usher you around this historic Victorian village, registered as a national landmark.
And while it’s easy to imagine buttoned-up ladies and gentlemen taking in the colorful gables, curative springs and stone cottages, the gentility stops there. Eureka Springs has cultivated a new image, a quirky, rip-roaring international mountain biking destination that tells decorum to eat its dust.
Perhaps best known among the area trails is the Eureka Springs Downhill. Seven trails about a mile in length apiece, difficulty ranges from beginner to expert, with a shuttle to the top that operates seven days a week.
From the greens–with their berms, good speed and spots to pump the bike and test gravity a bit–to double blacks with giant senders and rocky, technical lines, its best to know your skill level before ripping down the hollow.
Beyond the pure downhill, Lake Leatherwood City Park offers 25 miles of multi-use trail with varied, low impact enjoyment. The lake itself is home to one of the nation’s largest hand-cut limestone dams, and camping and RV sites are plentiful for those who want to get a little rustic.
On the 667-acre grounds of The Great Passion Play, a new free, multi-use trail loop has been designed with accessibility in mind, welcoming all skill levels and ages. Trails by the name of Roman Road and Holly Roller beckon riders to meet their maker on a slew of new tracks designed by world-class trailbuilders. Deliverance is considered one of the most difficult trails in Northwest Arkansas with fast flow, rock gardens and a large road gap.
Riders from across the country will appreciate and recognize the mountain town vibe of Eureka Springs, reminiscent of towns from Appalachia to the Rockies. And while the town continues to draw visitors 150 years after its healing waters gained popularity with the Victorian set—today’s mountain bikers will tell you that fresh air and adrenaline is just as good for the mind, body and soul.

OZ Trails community,

When I think about where this started, trail builders like Dave Renko, Nathan Woodruff, and Don West from the early days come to mind. They strengthened my belief in the power of trails and in Arkansas becoming one of the great places in the world to ride. It started simply: a few hand-built trails, a lot of conviction, and a community willing to put in the effort to create something special.

OZ Trails was never just about bikes. It was about building a way of life around the outdoors — a place where families spend more time together, where people find clarity away from screens, and where visitors feel welcome. It proves that something world class can still feel local, personal, and rooted in the land.

For years, we dreamed about this park. We walked the land, studied what it could become, and kept coming back to the same idea: Northwest Arkansas deserved a bike park that matched the ambition of this community.

Now, we’ve built it.

OZ Trails Bike Park is where so much of that work comes together. It was created with trail builders who treat their work like a craft, supported by bike patrol so riders can feel confident, and shaped by a team that cares about the experience from the moment you arrive. I've been riding the park throughout development, and I finish every ride believing it will change how people progress and connect with each other.

Founding Membership is an invitation to the people who get it — the riders who know what time on trail does for you: clearing your head, building confidence, finding your people, and feeling a sense of pride in the place you ride. We want you here from day one. Membership is more than access. It helps set the tone for what this park becomes. The first members should be people who care about the culture, who welcome others in, and who believe this place can keep growing into something truly special.

As a father, I often think about watching my kids progress on these trails — starting on green, moving to blue, and then deciding they’re ready for black. It’s part of why we built this place the way we did — so families can show up, everyone has something to ride, and they can keep building the skills to take the next step.

Alongside Founding Membership, we’re also launching a Founding Family Membership for those who want to share this with the people they love.

Our Founding Memberships open today.

Come ride it. This place was built for you.
