What opened, and where
OZ Trails Bike Park opened on 12 June 2026 on the border between Bentonville and Bella Vista in north-west Arkansas. It is the state's first lift-served bike park. The park sits on Highway 71, at the intersection where the two cities meet. The opening ran alongside Bentonville Bike Fest.
AdventureTravelNews carried the opening on 22 October 2026 as a Visit Bentonville member report. Outside named Bentonville the second-best mountain bike town in the United States less than two weeks before the opening. Bentonville is the home base of USA Cycling's U.S. National Mountain Bike Team.
The lift
A Leitner-Poma high-speed quad carries four riders per chair. The park lists 30 chairs and a lift line of half a mile up the ridge. The park states that the lift was manufactured in the USA. Hiking trails run on the same schedule as the lift.
The trails
Gravity Logic designed and built the trails. The park holds 30 or more trails across 20 or more miles of gravity-flow terrain over about 200 acres. The ladder runs from five wide beginner trails with gentle grades to expert and pro jump lines. A pump track sits at the base.
What a day costs
The park publishes its rates on its own site. Every price here was read there on 25 October 2026.
A full day runs $59.99, lift-served and all day. A half day runs $39.99, with 4.5 hours from the first scan. A single month pass runs $149 for 30 days from first scan. A pedal day runs $19.99 with no lift access. A single lift ride runs $9.99, sold at the kiosks and the front desk in OZ Trails HQ, and it carries no bike. Passes sell online, at the kiosks, or at the front desk. The park states that no reservation is needed.
The arithmetic that matters for a group
Two annual products carry the group case. A solo annual pass is $1,299 for 12 months, or $129 a month. A family annual pass is $2,490 for two adults and children under 18, or $249 a month. Both add tax and a $3 gate card per rider. Annual passes are paid up front and cannot be cancelled partway through the year. Monthly memberships stay month to month.
Membership carries 15 per cent off buddy passes, and half-price buddy passes on Mondays. Each membership holds five free half-day passes a year to hand out.
Rentals, lessons and the free base
The bike shop rents to adults and to children and handles tune-ups. The park runs a bike school. A kids zone holds a Strider balance-bike course. Helmets are mandatory, and the park strongly recommends full-face helmets on intermediate and advanced trails.
The headquarters, plaza, grounds, retail shop and art cost nothing to enter. The park states that no lift ticket is needed for the restaurant, the shop or the art. Ozzy's Ride + Dine is a full-service restaurant and bar at the base. A rooftop bar, 71, takes private bookings and events. Large-scale work curated with OZ Art NWA runs across the HQ and the grounds.
The free base is the practical asset for a mixed group. Non-riding partners, grandparents and anyone sitting out a lap have somewhere to be.
Hours and closures
The lift runs 10am to 7pm on Monday, Thursday and Friday. Saturday and Sunday run 9am to 7pm. The park closes Tuesday and Wednesday for trail maintenance and crew recovery. Ozzy's opens at 9am on park days and serves until 8:30pm.
A calendar a group can build on
October carried four events. The Arkansaw High Country Race began a two-year stay in Bentonville on 3 October. The Life Time Little Sugar MTB started at the park on 11 October and finished at The Momentary. A free Team USA meet and greet, presented by Arkansas Tourism, ran at the park on 14 October. Big Sugar Gravel closed the Life Time Big Sugar Classic on 17 October over 100, 50 and 25 mile routes.
AdventureELEVATE North America comes to Bentonville on 20 to 22 April 2027. Its Day of Adventure puts delegates on the regional trails.
Where it sits in the region
The park is part of the OZ Trails network, which stewards more than 550 miles of shared-use trails across north-west Arkansas. USA Cycling brought its Regional Development Camp and Education Summit to Bentonville in August 2026, with riders aged 13 to 18 coached in cross-country, cyclocross and downhill.
For a group of mixed ability, the park splits into two tickets. Riders buy a day pass or a lift ride. Everyone else uses the free base.
