Coler Mountain Bike Preserve, situated just a mile west of downtown Bentonville, Arkansas, is an exhilarating trail network designed with mountain biking in mind. Having fully opened its Phase 1 in spring 2017, the park's trails cater to riders looking for a solid mix of flowy jump lines and technically challenging rocky sections. With multiple downhill runs that culminate at "The Hub," Coler offers a diversified mountain biking experience that is hard to match.
Getting to Coler is straightforward. The trailhead parking lot is easily accessible and can be found after a short drive from the center of Bentonville, as mentioned in the quick facts.
Acting as the linchpin for all the downhill activities, "The Hub" is a three-story metal structure that serves as the launchpad for a range of trails. From the top, riders can choose their preferred route, tailoring the ride to their skill level.
Riders seeking a more technical experience can try out Rock Solid and Rock Soft, trails packed with rocky features that add an extra layer of complexity to the ride.
While Coler already offers an impressive variety, rumors from local bike shops indicate that there are plans for more trails in the works.
Coler has received near-universal acclaim. A typical remark: "Great mountain bike concept park. Gives a little bit of everything from nice flowing tread to rocky tech bits to big drop runs." Some riders do point out that the park could benefit from longer downhill sections and greater variety.
Coler Mountain Bike Preserve is already shaping up to be an MTB dreamland, and it's still under development.
