Mountain Bike Fellowship
"I will make each of My mountains a road, and My highways shall be elevated." (Isaiah 4:11)

The vision of this ministry is that God would cause us to have fellowship with one another and with him as we ride out on the trails. Everyone in good enough health to ride is welcome. Please join us.

For more information and to find out when we are going to ride, please send an email to Steve: smarquez@ccfortsmith.com

 
Mountain bikers ride through a single-track trail. We attempt to ride every other Saturday. Email to ride with us.

Trails we ride:

Springhill Park
Trail Description:
A great trail for beginners and a fast trail for more avid riders, this trail is all within the park and near the river. Well-maintained and a lot of fun for everyone.

How to get there:
From Fort Smith head east on Hwy 22 (Rogers Ave.). Make a left turn onto Hwy 59. The entrance is about a mile or so on the right side.

Fort Chaffee / Ben Geren Park
Trail Description:
This trail has something for everyone! There are great flat spots and some hills. There are also some technical rocky roads for the more experienced rider. The trail is maintained and is well-ridden.

How to get there:
From Fort Smith head east on Zero Street. As you come to the first entry into the Fort Chaffee
Redevelopment Area turn right (into Fort Chaffee Redevelopment Area). At the first stop sign, make a right turn, the road curves. Follow that road until you pass Wells Lake, which will be on your right side. Keep your eyes open, as you pass the lake, you will see the entrance to the trail just over the hill on the right.

Fianna Hills
Trail Description:
This trail system is a network of winding single tracks that branch off of a power line utility road. The riding area is inside a 15 square mile valley with 150'+ tall peaks on the outer perimeter. The trails are typical of Arkansas: mixed terrain made up of clay, shale, baby heads, roots, lots of creek crossings and occasional rock ledges to jump. This is good woods-riding that will force you to ride with good technique or wipe out hard. Exploration is key, because finding the best single track and routes takes a little planning. All-in-all, some pretty fast, rocky, technical trails, and plenty of them. An excellent place to better hone one's skill.

How to get there:
From in Fort Smith, head west on 540 almost all the way to the Oklahoma border. Exit on "Jenny Lind Exit 13" and take a left (south) on Jenny Lind Road. Continue on this road about 2 miles all the way to the end. You will be at a cul-de-sac in Fianna Hills, a residential neighborhood. The trails begin at the end of the road.

Additional Notes:
Do not fear getting lost! Houses and highways form the outermost borders.
