25 Things to Do in Rogers

#20: Razorback Regional Greenway

With 40 miles of off-road shared-use trail, the Razorback Regional Greenway is a collection of 19 individual trails with a starting point in Bella Vista that takes you through Bentonville, Rogers, Lowell, Springdale, and Johnson city limits, ending in Fayetteville. Trail-goers can expand their experience even further in Rogers, Arkansas via the Railyard Loop and Pinnacle Express, exploring Downtown and Uptown Rogers, as well as 15 miles of natural-surface trails geared toward all ages and abilities.

There are rest areas along the way with public restrooms, water stations, air pumps, restaurants, medical services, and the Equip Sling Station, a designated space for 40 hammocks with sun sails offering a shaded area to relax. That’s right, pack your hammock and a water bottle this could be a full-day adventure.

If you do not own a bike, you can rent one at Phat Tire Bike Shop in Downtown Rogers, offering options for all ages and abilities, or from Highroller Cyclery, located near the Rogers trailhead at Horsebarn Park where you will find parking.

From there, head south on the Razorback Regional Greenway trail towards the Pinnacle Hills area where you will find options for lunch. Bariola’s Pizzeria, a family-owned restaurant with a sports bar ambiance serving delicious pizza, subs, and salads, great deals on drinks, a small arcade for the kids, and free soft serve ice cream. Other options, if you veer away from the trail are Mojitos Modern Mexican Grill, Grub’s Bar & Grille, and more.

Also located along the trail, Natural State Beer Company specializes in award-winning German-style lagers, fresh local beer, and an unforgettable brewery experience. With 12 rotating beers on tap, daily food service, family-friendly seating, pet-friendly outdoor spaces, and year-round events, Natural State Beer Company is proud to be a destination for locals and visitors of the Razorback Regional Greenway.

You can opt out of lunch and ride along to the Equip Sling Station just past the Mercy Trailhead. Parking, public restrooms, a water station, and air pumps are also found here. This is a good rest spot and halfway point if you are only riding through Rogers. There will not be another public restroom or water station for a while so be sure to take advantage and fill up here.

Continue the ride along the Razorback Regional Greenway trail and you will go through a city park, Jackson’s Bench, and a golf course, The Greens at Blossom Way, which make for a great place to rest and enjoy the green scenery Arkansas is well known for.

If you are up for the challenge head south on the trail to Fayetteville that is mainly an incline and sure to have you asking why you were crazy enough to think you could make it all the way. Once you reach your destination the ride back to Rogers will be downhill and much smoother!
