The Syllamo Bike Trail is a world class mountain bike trail consisting of over 50 miles of single track trails through the Ozark National Forest just north of Mountain View. Phase 1 is 22 miles and consists of of three interconnecting loops, which are accessible from the Syllamo Trailhead on Arkansas Highway 5, as well as several locations along Green Mountain Road. You can also get more information from the U.S. Forest Service Site. The International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA) added the Syllamo Trail System to it's 2005 list of Epic Rides. IMBA Epics are at the top of many mountain bikers "must-ride" lists as they "create classic memories and inspire us to save the trails". For more details see www.imba.com/epics. Three of the Loops in Phase I Include:
White River Bluff Loop: The shortest loop,
4.5 miles round trip. Portions of the trail are quite technical
and beginner level riders might have to walk their bikes across
certain sections, but the views are worth the effort. Spectacular
views of the White River and its valley, the North Sylamore Creek
Valley and surrounding Ozark Mountains abound. NOTE: The two parking areas on Green Mountain
Road identified on the map are still under construction. However,
the following places allow access to the various loops from Green
Mountain Road. Click here for the US Forest Service Website Click here to download a PDF version of the trail map.
