The Slaughter Pen trails are why serious cyclists make the trip to Bentonville. Over 40km of purpose-built mountain bike singletrack through rocky Ozark woodland, ranging from beginner-accessible flow trails to technical expert lines. Bike rental is available in town at several shops if you did not bring your own. The trail system connects via the Razorback Greenway to Crystal Bridges and downtown — it is possible to ride from your hotel door to the museum without touching a road.
