Our Editor's Trailside Guide to Fayetteville
With warmer weather headed our way, it’s time to break out the bikes and enjoy the many trails that Northwest Arkansas has to offer! If you’re planning to venture out on the Razorback Greenway, our edit’s put together a trailside guide for how to best enjoy your time on the trails. If you’re looking for a great way to enjoy the many businesses along the trail, we suggest starting the day in Downtown Fayetteville at The Square for the Farmer’s Market, enjoying the shopping around the square and Dickson Street, then venturing down the trails from there – stopping at our favorite spots.
Scouted Trail-Adjacent Shopping
By Request – it is off the trail and up near The Square, but 100% worth the biking up the hill. By Request is a great way to shop and enjoy the many brands offered in-store. If you’re looking for special event dressing or everyday glam, this is the shop for you.
Romance Diamond – located on Dickson street
David Adams Fine Jewelry – located on the square
Massimo Interior Design – located on the square
Notable Trailside Stops
The Ramble – a great spot to hang out with family, friends, and enjoy the beautiful nature surrounding the trail systems
The Fayetteville Public Library – right up the hill from The Ramble, the public library is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. A TSG insider tip – stop by the Arsaga’s inside the front entrance for an iced sport tea, this is one of our editor’s favorite refreshments to enjoy while biking, or just enjoying a Sunny day!
Trailside Eats
Woodstone – TSG insider tip: if you get pizza, be sure to ask for their homemade ranch on the side. Their pizza dipped in their ranch = heaven. Woodstone also has a great outdoor seating area!
Arsagas – right next to Woodstone is Arsaga’s, great for breakfast and lunch. They also have lovely outdoor seating.
If you aren’t feeling like an entire meal, but are craving something healthy to fuel your ride, check out the many juice bar/healthy alternatives right off the trail. Swoon Juice Bar, Mamaka Bowls, and new to the area – The Daily Beet.
