The Razorback Regional Greenway is a mostly off-road, shared-use trail that branches off of the Bella Vista Trail in north Bentonville to south Fayetteville. It offers 36 miles of 
beautiful sites and fun community stops along the way. Here are five of the most beautiful and fun places to check out while exploring the trail.
- Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art
While it’s technically not on the Razorback Greenway trail, Crystal Bridges is a free world-class museum that is less than a mile from the trail and Bentonville Square. This beautiful museum features an astonishing collection of American art, fun exhibitions, and breathtaking architecture. Visitors to Crystal Bridges will enjoy a restaurant located on a glass-enclosed bridge that overlooks the property’s ponds, a library with over 50,000 volumes of art reference material, sculptures, and walking trails.
- Arsaga’s at the Depot
Arsaga’s at the Depot is one of the most bike-friendly places to eat off of the Razorback Regional Greenway trail. The eatery offers plenty of bike parking as well as a bike station where you can pump up your tires and do minor repairs. Its trailside entrance features a large patio and beautiful landscaping, making it enticing to those traveling along the trail.
Arsaga’s serves a wide variety of wine and beer as well as a complete coffee menu. They offer a breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu all week long as well as brunch on Saturdays and Sundays.
- Lake Fayetteville
Lake Fayetteville is a great place to rest before completing the final section of the trail. It sits near the edge of the Springdale/Fayetteville border and offers benches to rest on, food trucks for grabbing a bite to eat, and most importantly, bathrooms. If you’re looking for some extra mileage, you can take a lap around the lake’s 5.5-mile loop.
- Fayetteville’s Funky Yardsale
If flea markets are your thing, you’ll love this quirky little shopping area with booths covering the 10,000 square-foot area. You can just browse or save some space in your backpack for a few new items to take with you.
- Wilson Park
Wilson Park is less than a mile off of the Scull Creek Trail in Fayetteville. This park features a walking trail, basketball court, greenhouse, picnic areas, swimming pool, bathrooms, and more. It even has its own castle sitting over a spring and is encompassed by gorgeous gardens. If you have space to pack a hammock, Wilson Park is a great place to swing from some trees and relax.
- Puritan Brewing Company
The Puritan Brewing Company makes for the perfect end to a trip along the Razorback Greenway Trail. The trail leads right into Dickson Street. If you head west, you’ll enjoy a nice little detour around the Arkansas Razorback campus. If you head east, you’ll find yourself at this glorious brewery. They serve just about everything, including coffee, craft beer, and sandwiches. There’s not a much better reward after a long journey than some delicious food and drinks.
If you’re planning a trip along the Razorback Greenway, make sure you block off some time to stop at these awesome places. You won’t regret it.
