Arkansas's natural beauty and eclectic destinations are rapidly gaining popularity with freewheelers nationwide. Our 52 state parks and three national forests offer an abundance of terrain, whether your sport of choice is road cycling, off-road mountain biking, motorcycling, or ATV riding.

Road Cycling and off-road Mountain Biking
Say you want to spend the day cycling a scenic back road in the Ozarks or riding a single-track route in the Ouachitas. We have terrain for all skill levels, so check out these suggested bike rides. Major projects such as the Mississippi River Trail highlight routes in the Delta as part of a 10 state, 3,000-mile network of bicycle-friendly roads. Only 40 trails across the nation currently hold the “Epic” status from the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA) and two are here: the Womble Trail in the Ouachitas region and the Syllamo Trail in Mountain View. Presently, a 20-mile route of The Lake Ouachita Vista Trail (LOViT) is open. When completed, it will include around 40 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails along the shores of Lake Ouachita. The LOViT Trail is sanctioned by the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA).

Motorcycle Riding Routes
Unique motorcycle destinations are discovered using Arkansas’s most rambling roads, broken by breathtaking vistas along the way. We host many biker rallies such as Fayetteville's Bikes, Blues and BBQ, regarded as the fastest growing motorcycle rally in the nation. Three of the state’s routes are national scenic byways: The 360-mile Great River Road (Arkansas) National Scenic Byway, the 198-mile Crowley's Ridge Parkway National Scenic Byway, and the Talimena National Scenic Byway.

Don't have a bike or didn't bring yours? Maybe you just want to hop on a Harley or a Honda for a weekend drive. Check out EagleRider of Central Arkansas Rentals and Tours in Cabot and Pig Trail Harley-Davidson/Buell in Rogers.

Arkansas ATV Trails
Riding ATVs/motorized vehicles is cited as the fastest growing recreational use of the national forests. Arkansas ATV trails are available in many locations throughout the state, such as the Ozark National Forest, Mill Creek, Lake Wedington, Lake Greeson, Wolf Pen Gap, Moccasin Gap, Fourche Mountain, Huckleberry Mountain, and more! For a more unusual mode of exploring the great outdoors in Arkansas, rent a dune buggy from Go-Kart-4-Wheeling, a tour company that specializes in weekend tours based in the mountains of North Arkansas.
