This Website is a Cheat Sheet for Biking in Central Arkansas

The Little Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau has launched a new, dedicated cycling website, which features 97 trails covering 1,233 miles in and around Little Rock and central Arkansas.

The site includes road cycling routes, mountain biking trail systems, gravel grinds and specialty-themed touring routes, such as the “Just Desserts Trail” route that will take cyclists to several sweet spots for a “calorie-negative” ride.

The site represents the most extensive single database of biking trails in the state’s central region. Using individually mapped routes, riders can browse each trail and explore highlighted local points of interest. They can also search for local outfitters, find cycling laws and locate cycling clubs. 

The site’s trails can be viewed in multiple categories, including 66 mountain biking trails within six mountain biking trail systems, 24 road routes, 19 beginner rides, eight self-guided tours and five gravel trails.

Each route can be accessed via the Ride with GPS mobile app for free turn-by-turn voice navigation and offline maps. Garmin and Wahoo users can sync routes to their device for on-screen, turn-by-turn navigation. Rides can also be synced with other ride and fitness-tracking mobile apps. 

“People are starting to think about travel again, and research shows that they are looking for things to do outdoors and in nature for safe, relaxing, stress-free experiences,” said LRCVB President and CEO Gretchen Hall. “Now is the perfect time for people to discover Little Rock’s hidden gems of more than 1,230 miles of biking trails right here in the state’s capital city.”
