The Greenway Trail: A 40-Mile Connector of Towns, Culture, and Community in Northwest Arkansas
What if one trail could link towns, boost local businesses, promote healthy living, and even connect you to a Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece?
That’s exactly what the Razorback Greenway is doing in Northwest Arkansas. A recent feature by When In Your State highlights how this 40-mile paved trail now links seven towns, weaving through Bentonville, Fayetteville, Springdale, Rogers, and beyond — all the way to the iconic Bachman-Wilson House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright at Crystal Bridges.
But for locals and future residents alike, this is more than a trail. It’s a lifestyle.
On the I am Northwest Arkansas podcast, we’ve explored the deeper story behind the trail — from the organizations building it to the people pedaling its paths daily.
