HELLO TRAIL LOVERS
We are excited to bring you our inaugural OZ Trails newsletter. Every month, we aim to bring you an inside scoop on the latest and greatest in the world of OZ.
This month, we give you a first look at our updated renderings of the OZ Trails Bike Park we are building at the intersection of Bentonville & Bella Vista. The park will feature more than 17 miles of gravity-fed trails, a high-speed quad lift, and the OZ HQ building which will feature a rental shop, retail, restaurant, and event space. We are moving fast and expect to be open in summer of 2026.
Stay up to date with the latest updates on the construction of the park by following them on social media.

TRAIL UPDATES
Trails are at the heart of our world, and we want to shine a spotlight on some of the brand new trails you just have to see. “It’ll Bluff Out” was recently completed. It traces the side of Hwy 71, giving riders another option from Blowing Springs to the Back 40. What makes this trail special? For us, it’s the chance to showcase the area’s geology. This particular section of rock is known as the Boone Formation which is composed of fossil-rich limestone. MORE info at Trailforks.
