At Fitzgerald Mountain near Bayyari Park in Springdale, you’ll find ribbons of dirt punctuated by stretches of boulders that have been expertly knit together into swelling waves of trail.
You can find everything here from the advanced technical terrain, rocky descents, and punchy climbs to a Strider skills course for the kiddos. Stage Coach, Coyote Cave, and the affectionately named Best Trail Ever are worth riding for the stonemasonry alone. The builders took what Northwest Arkansas’s geology had to offer and turned it into rock gardens, jumps, and bridges, so all the features are built with stone sourced from the property. Trails added to the south side of the park will let you session up and down the hill trying out multiple lines.
They also packed Fitzgerald with everything from a beginner-friendly miniature flow trail to an expert-only line that includes a 10-foot drop with an 18-foot gap that sends riders ripping into a 30-foot jump. The mountain is also located just minutes from downtown Springdale and the Runway Bike Park, which is home to the largest asphalt pump track in North America.
